Night fell.
The drifting snowflakes finally stopped, and the Yang Family, which had been joyful all day because Lady Yu was pregnant, also quieted down.
In the main courtyard bedroom, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi had already fallen peacefully asleep.
But Just As the night deepened, Yang Zhengshan suddenly opened his eyes.
He heard certain sounds that should not have appeared, seemingly the sounds of fighting.
The fighting sounds came quickly and faded just as quickly. Faintly, there were also people talking, but they were too far away, and Yang Zhengshan could not hear clearly.
Just as Yang Zhengshan was hesitating over whether to get up and ask about the situation, the gate of the main courtyard was suddenly knocked on.
"Who is it!"
The old woman watching the gate threw on a padded jacket and walked out of the gatehouse to ask.
"Ding Qiu!"
"Steward Ding?"
"I have an urgent matter to see the Marquis about!" Ding Qiu stood outside the gate.
"Steward Ding, please wait a moment. This old woman will go inform Miss Green Mist!"
Inside the bedroom, Yu Qingyi had also woken up. "What happened?"
Yang Zhengshan got up and put on his clothes. "It probably isn't anything major. You go back to sleep first!"
If it were a major matter, it would not be so quiet outside. Of course, it certainly was not a Small Matter either; if it were a Small Matter, Ding Qiu Will Not have come knocking in the middle of the night.
Yu Qingyi got up and draped a fur coat over Yang Zhengshan. At this moment, Green Mist's voice also Sounded outside the door.
"Master, Steward Ding has come looking for you!"
Yang Zhengshan finished dressing and walked out of the bedroom. "You all rest. I'll go take a look!"
