259: The lady was also detained.

Lu Qianqian was extremely anxious, while the Youth in White sitting opposite her watched the scene quietly, a faint smile always playing on his lips.

After much deliberation, Lu Qianqian was still uneasy. She prepared to take a risk, deciding that whether or not she could find Feng Ming, she should first go out and tell Feng Mian the news.

She would let him figure out a way to find Feng Ming.

Just as Lu Qianqian was about to stand up, everyone saw the reporting Guard return.

Seeing this person, an ominous feeling spontaneously arose in everyone's hearts.

Jiang Yan was about to drink wine, but seeing the person who arrived, he slowly put his cup down. “Why hasn't Madam arrived?”

Jiang Yan's voice was extremely cold. Today, things had repeatedly occurred that exceeded his expectations, and now even his Madam had not returned as agreed.

He had clearly guessed something, and at the same time, he was starting to get angry.

No matter what, he was the acting family head. Not only did the other party refuse to give him Face, but they even detained his Madam.

This was practically trampling his Face into the ground. How could he possibly tolerate this?”

The Guard spoke at this moment, and the content was exactly what Jiang Yan had expected.

“Reporting to Milord, Madam... Madam has also been detained.”

“Bang!”

Although he had long anticipated this result, upon hearing the result spoken by someone else, Jiang Yan still couldn't suppress his fury.

With a single slap, the dining table in front of him instantly collapsed, and the food on the table scattered all over the floor. Everyone attending the Expedition Banquet was stunned.

Especially those who were seated farther away and had no idea what had happened!

At this moment, they all craned their necks and looked toward Jiangchuan.

“What's going on with the Jiang Family? Even though Jiang Yan is the acting family head, summoning someone for questioning shouldn't be this difficult. Failing repeatedly like this completely strips him of the Family Head's Dignity.”

“It's more than just Dignity! Now even his own Madam has been detained. This is clearly showing absolutely no regard for him as the Family Head!”

“Tsk tsk! Such a large-scale Expedition Banquet, I never expected it to turn out like this!”

“That's right, there's a good show coming up. Clearly, this acting family head is angry. I'd say this meal was worth it; we got to see a great show.”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

These words obviously reached Jiang Yan's ears, making him even more furious and deeply ashamed. Today, he had lost both Internal Face and external Face, making him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

He was the acting family head of the Jiang Family! If this matter wasn't handled properly, it wouldn't just bring shame upon the Jiang Family's Reputation, but it would also affect his future authority within the Jiang Family.

He might even lose his position as acting family head.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan immediately stood up and shouted at the Guard: “Lead the way! I will personally go to the Quiet Garden and see who has such audacity to successively detain my Guard, my Son, and my Madam.”

The Guard acknowledged, and immediately set off with Jiang Yan. Those who had come to attend the Expedition Banquet naturally wouldn't miss this sight, so they immediately stood up and followed to watch the excitement!

Huangfu Yunyan and the others were also completely bewildered. Huangfu Rui looked toward Huangfu Yunyan.

He was clearly seeking Huangfu Yunyan's opinion: everyone else had gone, what should they do?

Huangfu Yunyan was filled with doubts at the moment, unable to understand which step had gone wrong. A Family Head, even an acting one, held authority. How could he fail to summon even a Concubine?

Something must have happened in the Jiang Family, but she didn't know the specifics.

And the most crucial thing was that she had endured for so long and finally saw the situation she desired!

If she chose to leave and hide now, what if she missed the final moment?

Following them was also inappropriate. What if things developed completely contrary to what she wanted? Once Feng Ming saw her, it would inevitably become a life-or-death situation!

Huangfu Yunyan pondered deeply, hesitated repeatedly, and watched as many people around her followed the crowd.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, “Go, we'll go too.”

Things had progressed this far, and this was a situation she had planned for a long time and created herself. She was truly unwilling to leave without seeing the result. She couldn't understand how Feng Ming could resolve such a situation, or what he relied on.

Of course, most importantly, Huangfu Yunyan did not believe Feng Ming could break this deadly predicament.

She only felt that this incident might be due to something internal in the Jiang Family, unrelated to Feng Ming. She didn't want to miss this final moment of Judgment for Feng Ming.

Even if she had to pay with her life for this, she would not regret it. As for the circumstances of the Maid and Huangfu Rui, she couldn't care less!

Seeing Huangfu Yunyan and her group follow, Lu Qianqian pretended to pass by Lu An'an and whispered, “Quickly arrange for someone to go to the Restaurant to find Feng Mian. Tell them something happened to the Feng Family and have them go look for Feng Ming.”

Lu An'an nodded subtly. After speaking, the two separated again, each blending into the crowd.

Jiang Yan personally led the team to the Quiet Garden to Demand an Explanation. The news spread incredibly fast, and soon the entire Liangzhou City knew about the incident.

The Onlookers, initially just those attending the banquet, now included people from the streets and alleys, all joining the crowd.

After all, the Jiang Family hadn't been this lively in years.

“Hey Brother, do you know what happened? Why is it so lively?”

“I don't know either, but there are so many people, everyone is following, so I want to go take a look too.”

“I know. It seems someone offended the Jiang Family Head.”

“Holy cow, who is so reckless as to dare offend the Jiang Family Head?”

“Exactly! Isn't that why we're here to watch the excitement?”

“Hey, hey! Why did the procession suddenly stop?”

Amidst the crowd, everyone was chattering away, and as they spoke, the procession suddenly came to a halt.

After Jiang Yan stopped, the person beside him looked completely bewildered. “Brother Jiang, why did you stop?”

“That's right. Is there something inappropriate? Although today is your Family matter, if you just say the word, we are willing to handle it for you.”

“Exactly, exactly. They're just a few Old Fools in the Family relying on their age. Just give the command, and we'll deal with them for you. You can't be soft-hearted with people like that.”

As for Jiang Yan, seeing the Quiet Garden faintly visible not far ahead, he was completely paralyzed.

He was deaf to the words spoken by the people around him.

Others didn't know, but he knew very well who lived in that courtyard before his eyes.

It was in this very courtyard that he obtained the position of acting family head.

A single word from that person made him the acting family head.

And the same single word could also make him nothing at all!

And now, seeing the direction his subordinate was leading, he completely understood who exactly had detained his Son and his Madam today!

“Thump!”

Without warning, and one could even say the event happened quite suddenly, right there in front of everyone.

Jiang Yan, the acting family head of the Jiang Family, just knelt down without any warning.

While everyone looked completely bewildered, he shouted toward the Quiet Garden.

“Father! I was wrong!”
