Lao Fan shook his head, his voice carrying a few traces of despondency, and gave a bitter laugh, "Let's talk about fun later. What I need to tell you is that I left the house in disguise that day, but when I returned home, I still felt someone was following me. I was a bit puzzled, but when I looked back, I only saw Yao Mansion's carriage. Since Yao Mansion is right across from us, I thought maybe Miss Yao just happened to be going home, so I didn't give it much thought. But these past few days, the more I think about it, the more I feel something's not right. Perhaps my identity has already been exposed."
Pausing, Lao Fan continued, "Now that Xia Zheng, that stinky boy, has gone to the frontier, I feel even more uneasy. I simply took this opportunity to expose my identity, and then I moved into the General Mansion. I do not believe that those people would dare to mess with the General Mansion."
