There was one more very important thing to do.

She found a lantern, carried it herself, and ran to Lin Zizi's courtyard.

The maid opened the door in a daze and, seeing her, quickly bowed, "Seventh Miss, why are you here so late?"

"I'm looking for my father."

"Oh, please come in, it's very cold outside." The maid hurriedly took the lantern. "I'll hold this for you. Old Master is in Madam's room, the lights are out, and they must have gone to bed."
