"Yes." Patriarch Sun’s guard took the box of gold notes and left the secret room. Patriarch Sun stayed in the study for a long time before coming out. The moment he stepped out, he reverted to his look of grief and numbness. He went to the front hall and stayed by Madam Sun’s coffin the entire time, refusing to leave no matter how anyone persuaded him.
After receiving the news, Li Junze gave a cold sneer and said to Nan Yu beside him, "Do you think Patriarch Sun is the type to be so overwhelmed by grief that he does nothing at all? The Sun family has suffered a devastating double loss this time—the matriarch dead and their daughter's reputation ruined. Do you think he could not feel hatred? Having no surface movements doesn't mean there are none beneath the surface. As a proper aristocratic family, the Sun family surely has secret rooms or hidden passages. Pay more attention to news from Kongming Palace these past few days, and order the Pill Hall disciples outside to keep an eye on Yun Li's whereabouts."
"Yes."
