Zhuge Lin's stance plunged everyone present into silence; it seemed no one was willing to utter another word at this moment.
Since the family head had spoken, the others naturally refrained from saying more.
Yet, everyone knew in their hearts that if Lěng Yè truly killed Zhuge Lian, the news would sooner or later reach the headquarters of the Zhuge family, and the situation afterward would be entirely unpredictable.
Lěng Yè helped Mao Xiaohua to her feet, and the two slowly walked toward a room.
Another servant supported Mao Xiaoli, accompanying them inside.
As soon as they entered, Lěng Yè carefully picked up Mao Xiaohua and gently laid her on the bed. "Are you feeling better?" he asked softly, his voice filled with concern.
Mao Xiaohua lay there, her eyes half-closed, and nodded weakly.
"Much better," she replied. "Just now, it felt like I was walking through the gates of hell. It was truly awful." She added, "Thank goodness you came back, or I really don't know what would have happened."
