Arriving quickly at the residence of Duke Changning, Du Yi, Du Junqing indeed found the bedroom door tightly closed, with no sound coming from inside.
A look of surprise immediately appeared on Du Junqing's face.
Ah Zhong hurriedly said, "This is also something that I have always felt is not right. Every time the young master comes back from Madam's place, he would always shout and curse in the room. But this time, he didn't say a word... and he has been like this since he came back!"
Du Junqing's brow furrowed even tighter.
He quickly pushed open the door and saw Du Yi lying on the bed, his thin body curled up with his back facing him.
Signaling Ah Zhong and a few others to wait outside, he walked over slowly. "What's going on? Did you have another argument with Lady Gu?"
Du Yi immediately sat up.
He stared at Du Junqing with a complex look in his eyes for a long time before speaking in a muffled voice, "I don't like her... no, I hate her! When are you going to kick her out?"
Du Junqing raised an eyebrow. "What did she do to you?"
Du Yi suddenly reacted like a startled cat and jumped up. "She didn't do anything! Stop making things up!" he shouted.
Du Junqing didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, his eyes gradually becoming meaningful.
After his outburst, Du Yi realized that he had overreacted. He stomped his foot forcefully, "I just hate her, and today she's even more unbearable than before! I just want her to leave, the farther the better!"
"So, what did she do to you?" Du Junqing asked again.
Du Yi's face turned red instantly. "She didn't do anything! If you don't believe me, then get out! I don't want to see you either!"
He pushed Du Junqing out in a fluster and then slammed the door shut.
This was the first time he had been kicked out by his son.
Watching the door close with a bang, Du Junqing's expression became even more complicated.
Ah Zhong and the others were also stunned by what they had witnessed.
"Your Grace..."
But Du Junqing had already turned around. "Go to Madam's place."
He wanted to see what this woman had done to scare his son like this!
However...
"Your... Your Grace!" When he saw the person standing at the courtyard gate, Qingluo was so frightened that she was trembling all over and almost forgot to bow.
Looking at this maidservant who was as unsightly as Gu Caiqin, a shadow fell over Du Junqing's eyes.
"Where is Madam?" he asked coldly.
"Madam... Madam has had her meal and just went to bed. Does Your Grace want to see Madam? I'll go wake her up!" Qingluo hurriedly said.
Du Junqing shook his head. "No need. I ask you, what happened when the young master came over just now?"
Qingluo immediately knelt down in fear, "Your Grace, Madam didn't mean it. Please don't be angry with her!"
"What did she do?" Du Junqing asked.
Trembling, Qingluo recounted what had just happened, and then she hastily added, "Madam has a kind heart. She saw that the young master's body is too weak, so she fed him. Please don't blame Madam for taking matters into her own hands, considering her deep care for the young master!"
However, Du Junqing's face had already turned dark and gloomy.
"You said she fed the young master a bowl of porridge. And the young master, he actually ate it all?" he asked in a deep voice.
Finally, he added, "Did he not vomit?"
