Xuexue said to Zi Xia with a serious face, "Zi Xia, go to the side, I want to talk to him for a bit."
Zi Xia was somewhat unwilling, "Miss, don't let him trick you, those tricks from the wandering elders in the itinerant world are numerous!"
"Rest assured, your Miss is not a three-year-old child, not so easily deceived."
"But...!"
"No buts, go on, I just want to exchange a few words, it's getting late, we should head back soon."
The War Prince's Mansion is not the General's Mansion. At night when it reaches the prescribed Shichen Chinese Time, the gates are locked tightly and won't open until the next morning.
Of course, Xuexue's Zi Xia knows martial arts, and doesn't really mind the door; however, if caught, she fears they'll find fault, claiming it's improper for a woman to be out at night, leading to unnecessary trouble.
Zi Xia also considered this, and reluctantly nodded, "Alright, Miss, you must be careful, if anything's amiss, call for the maid immediately."
