The Third Miss was no longer in the room, she had just come out with the maid. Thinking it over still felt wrong, so she sat in the pavilion and had the maid go inquire.
But now half an hour has passed, and the time he mentioned in the letter was approaching. Why hasn't Xiao Ying, the maid, returned yet?
The Third Miss bit her lip, tangled in thought, and finally decided to check personally.
Though she didn't understand why he wanted to meet her at night, maybe there was something important he wanted to say.
If it were the usual time, or if she played the role of an observer, the Third Miss might have noticed something was wrong.
Mr. Wen was from a prestigious family, his conduct always proper and courteous. Why would he engage in a nighttime private meeting with an unmarried woman?
However, the Third Miss was truly taken with Mr. Wen. A woman in love often has moments of confusion.
