"What should we do? Now that my husband is not here, what can we do?" Xi Shi's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of panic.

Gan Mei bit her lower lip and tried to calm herself down: "We can't sit still and wait for death, we have to think of a way. But in this situation, what can we two weak women do?"

The two fell into silence, and the air seemed to have solidified.

The breeze outside the window blew gently, but it could not dispel the sorrow in their hearts.

They racked their brains to think about countermeasures, but in the face of this crisis, they felt extremely helpless and confused.

Zhou Yu returned home with a gloomy face, his heart full of resentment and reluctance.

He never expected that today's affairs would make him so frustrated. He has always led troops to fight wars on the battlefield and was invincible. He has never suffered such grievances.

The more he thought about it, he became more angry. He slapped the table with a sudden palm, making a loud noise. "Damn it!" He glared wide, his teeth clattering.

Then, another palm was slapped, and the table trembled slightly, as if he could feel his anger.

The afterglow of dusk shines on the ancient city walls of Youzhou City, emitting a layer of warm golden light.

Xi Yu returned to Youzhou City in a hurry. At this time, he didn't know that Gan Mei was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

Someone sent by Gan Mei had been waiting anxiously for Xi Yu's return.

Seeing Xi Yu's figure, the man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Xi Yu, and said in a hurry: "Prime Minister, you are finally back. The eldest lady has an emergency and has been waiting for you to come back."

When Xi Yu heard this, he was shocked.

He knew very well that if Gan Mei had not encountered a major problem, she would not have sent someone to find him so eagerly.

Without any hesitation, he immediately turned over and galloped towards the mansion with a quick horse.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves drifted in the dusk, and Xi Yu's heart was tightly pulled. I wonder what had happened, which made Gan Mei so anxious.

Gan Mei was restless in the room, her anxiety was so full of anxiety that she could not calm down. Finally, she came to Ouyang Linlin's small Buddhist temple.

In the Buddhist temple, candlelight sways, emitting a soft light. A faint smell of sandalwood permeates the air, making people's heart seem to find a trace of tranquility at this moment.

However, Gan Mei's heart was still ups and downs.

She knelt in front of the Buddha statue, folded her hands together, her eyes full of expectation.

She kept praying for blessings, muttering words, praying that Xi Yu could come back quickly. Every word was filled with her deep concern and worries.

At this tense moment, she placed all her hope on the Buddha, hoping to get a little comfort.
