When Mei Gongxue opened her eyes again, she found herself locked inside a room. She was alone; the two maids who had been with her before were gone. Perhaps because dusk was falling outside, the light in the room was quite dim. Coupled with the effects of the anesthetic she had been given, her head felt dizzy and heavy.

Who on earth were they? Could they be targeting the An Guo Marquis Manor? Were Mei Yanjun and Mei Xianghan nearby as well?
