Hong Mingyue tidied up her clothes, still bearing the traces of intimacy with City Lord Yang on her cheeks. After confirming there was no one else around, she took out a Fanghe from her bosom and threw it into the water.
As soon as the Fanghe entered the river, it transformed into a nimble water bird, flapping its wings and flying along the riverbank.
Only then did Hong Mingyue leave the garden.
From behind the garden's rockery, another person leisurely strolled out.
The person glanced in the direction Hong Mingyue left, then looked at the distant Fanghe, smirking with an amused smile.
"It seems tomorrow at the City Lord's Mansion, a grand performance is bound to unfold. My painstaking efforts to come here will not be in vain."
The person touched their chin and left the garden leisurely.
The water bird transformed from the Fanghe flew all the way to a spot along the riverbank.
