Mu Qingli continued, "Oh, then Uncle Qi, you should also rest early, good night." With that, she carried her basket full of fresh flowers upstairs. Halfway there, as if remembering something, she looked back and said, "Right, Uncle Qi, I seem to have forgotten my shoes in the garden. Could you please help me fetch them?"
Anyway, until she catches a cat to bring back, she is absolutely not setting foot in that ghostly garden.
She really couldn't figure out how such a beautiful place as the garden could be home to such disgusting creatures like mice...
Fu Lanshen gave a slight nod, "Go and rest now, good night..."
"Thank you for today, Uncle Qi, and good night," Mu Qingli said with a smile. Setting aside tonight's event, Fu Lanshen was still a good elder overall.
After Mu Qingli went upstairs and indulged in a delightful rose petal bath, she went to bed.
In the deep silence of the night, Fu Lanshen lay in bed and suddenly remembered a saying.
