Ji Qingwu asked again, "Where exactly are they?"
Wei Ting knew how stubborn this woman could be—sometimes more obstinate than a mule.
He extended a hand and pointed toward the room, giving her his answer.
Ji Qingwu glanced back. The door to the room was shut tight, and not a sound came from within. She didn't know what methods Wei Ting had employed, but she presumed her maids were unharmed.
She said, "General Wei, for you to barge directly into my personal garden... isn't that improper?"
Wei Ting countered, "If I had sent a formal request to visit, would you have received me?"
Ji Qingwu didn't answer. Her silence said it all.
Wei Ting said, "There's nothing improper about it. I've been waiting here for you the whole time. I didn't interrupt your important discussion with the Eldest Princess."
He hadn't just arrived. He had chanced upon Princess Hua Chang's carriage outside the Ji Mansion and had been waiting for Ji Qingwu in Wutong Garden for some time.
