Even though Chu Huan tried his best, he was still not as deft as the lady combing her hair, and he could only barely put the hairpins back on.

Ning Er carefully felt for the location of the pearl flower and sighed, "Forget it. Anyway, climbing over the wall tonight is already a 'high treason', so I don't care about such a small matter."

She was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and asked Chu Huan, "Are you sure that person is Aunt Ye?"

Chu Huan said, "Although Lu Kui is confused, he is a capable person. Leave him there tonight. Tomorrow, you will know who entered the room and what they said to each other. You can put every word on your desk."

Ning'er couldn't help but wonder, "He's so powerful?"

Chu Huan straightened a hairpin that was crooked on her left side and said with a smile: "I'm not as good as you. If Ning'er hadn't noticed someone going in, wouldn't we have missed it tonight?"

Ning Erqian said, "I just saw it by accident." She reminded Chu Huan, "But don't put it on the table. There are many people in my room. If someone sees it, it will be a big mistake."

The two of them followed the same route back to the Marquis' Mansion. Chu Huan said, "Don't worry, I'll let Han Guang inform you when the time comes."

Ning'er nodded, and looked worried again. She had been so impulsive that she went out without thinking anything. Now, when she thought about going back to her room, her scalp tingled.

It was the dead of night and she had been gone for so long that the old lady might have noticed her.

Even if she hadn't been discovered before, she had taken the lead in resting in the Marquis' courtyard tonight. If she sneaked back now, she would be discovered as she was not familiar with the place.

It was already late at night, and most of the scattered lights outside the courtyard had gone out. It was completely dark at a glance.

Chu Huan couldn't bear to see her frowning, so he just said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, and I won't make it difficult for you." He whispered, "Take care of yourself, and don't forget the date of our next meeting."

Ning'er whispered, "Go back quickly, it's too dangerous here."

This place is already inside the Marquis's courtyard. A few walls later it is the yard where the old lady rests. Any maid who comes out can block the two of them right in front of the door.

Chu Huan was reluctant to let go, and he just stared at Ning'er for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and took down the pearl flower that could not be inserted properly no matter how hard he tried.

Ning'er didn't understand what was going on and looked up at him blankly, only to hear Chu Huan say concisely, "It's crooked." As he said that, he took the pearl flower and held it in his palm, with no intention of returning it to Ning'er.

Faced with this childish and shameless behavior, Ning Er was speechless and could only helplessly say, "Okay."

She took a deep breath, and following Chu Huan's previous instructions, she walked to the door of the second wing on the west side, mustered up her courage, and gently pushed it.

Sure enough, the door was not locked! Ning'er was overjoyed, and quickly pushed the door open a crack and slipped in.

Before she could be happy for three minutes, she saw the light flicker. Ning'er was startled and looked carefully. She saw Chuncao holding a candle in her hand and looking at her angrily!

Ning'er almost breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw that it was Chuncao, she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Chuncao, you scared me to death. Why are you standing there without saying a word?"

Chuncao put the lamp down on the table, walked to Ning'er, and complained in a low voice: "The girl still remembers to come back!"

She saw Ning'er went out, her hair was disheveled, and her hair accessories were all out of place. She was angry but also felt distressed: "My little aunt. What kind of suffering has she gone through? What kind of hardship has she endured to be in such a state?"

As he was about to come up to help the girl change her clothes and do her makeup, Ning'er hurriedly said, "No hurry. Let me ask you, did anyone notice that I was away during this time? What did the old lady say?"

Chuncao pouted unhappily: "Girl, it's amazing that you still care about this? The old lady sent someone to see you, and the second master also came twice!"

"No way?" Ning'er's eyes went dark: "Then what should I do?"

What you fear is bound to come true!

Chuncao glanced at her daughter with resentment, sighed resignedly, and quietly led her into the inner room, raised the hibiscus curtains, and pointed at the bed in the dim yellow warm light: "Look, isn't the girl sleeping well?"

Ning'er took a look and was immediately stunned.
