Chapter 44: Xiao Tao's Scheme (1)

"Master, good evening," Xiao Tao bowed to Official Chen as he entered Chen Xue'er's residential area, "the fourth miss is already asleep." 

"Is she? Isn't it too early for her to go to sleep? She normally stays awakes till late." 

Chen Xue'er had ordered Xiao Tao to tell anyone that came to see her that evening that she had fallen asleep. Xiao Tao being just a little servant needed to obey her, but she was already too tired of her mistress's naivety. She was tired of her being so laid-back, so free. She knew that Chen Xue'er had escaped to see the man that they met at the hostel this afternoon. She had dressed too pretty and as a girl, to wander alone in the streets.
