Gu Fei retreated a few steps, then spotted a small alley nearby. She grabbed Lian'er and dashed into it.
After running down the alley for a while without seeing anyone in pursuit, Gu Fei finally let out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu frowned at the young girl. "What are you doing out here? How could Mother have let you come out?"
Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue. "Second Brother, I snuck out. You can't tell Mother, okay?"
Xiao Yu snorted. 'Only this silly girl would think she actually snuck out. How could she call it 'sneaking out' when she's followed by so many maids, nannies, and guards?'
'Mother is just turning a blind eye.'
Xiao Qing tilted her head. "What were you two doing just now?"
"Oh, and there was a pretty young lady standing here a moment ago. Where did she go?"
Xiao Yu quickly looked back. Gu Fei was nowhere to be seen!
Su Chen also turned around in a hurry. People came and went along the banks of the Jinshui River, but her lovely figure was gone.
