The night before Nie Yai's funeral, Duke Shenxiu's residence. The Bamboo courtyard, Lv Ming's room.
Lv Ming sat forward as her maid rushed into the room, she shut the paper fan and kept it aside. She rushed to Pengfua and held the maid's hand,

Although she dismissed all her other inner room maids, she still felt the need to be cautious. There were still a small group of maids on night watch standing guard outside the room door.
