Sneaking to Leave

It did not take long for the evening to arrive. The sky had gone darker, the moon peeking out from a dense cloud, stars twinkling up above. It was a beautiful sight and time to get out and look outside. 

Inside the Qu residence, the front pathway was crowded and busy. Carts, carriages pulled by horses, people in black uniforms were lined up, and servants continued to load things inside these carts and carriages.

Even though the study was far back from the gate, it was still unavoidable to not hear the commotion going on as people continued to pass by the place, and their voices kept on entering inside.

Still inside the study, Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but raise her head from what she was reading and look outside the window. There was only the back garden from where her line of sight was on, so she had to stand up and walk towards the door to clearly hear what was going on.

However, it wasn't needed as her two maids started to rush inside the study.
