"Since we have decided to strike now, should I contact our spy at the duke's compound?"

"No! There is no need to go that far, we will be going to the Eldest young master study".

Manlin's mouth flapped down, she shut her out seconds later and blinked rapidly, "Di-did you say the eldest young master?"

She scoffed and shook her head as Liqiu gave her a nod, she rolled her head around and sucked in a heavy breath.

"what in the... Liqiu what are you doing? We have been trying to get into the duke's study for months and when we finally have a chance to get in you change your mind to Nie Zihan. Why the sudden change of heart?" 

Liqiu pressed her lip into a thin line and glanced around. When she did not notice any strange movements, she held her friend's hand and pulled her closer.
