"Where did the old shopkeeper go?"
"Hey, why is the young lady still covering her face? She hasn't gone out for so long, and even now that she does, we can't see her…"
"She smells so nice, hehe, she just walked past me…"
Seeing the old shopkeeper and Wu He's Junior Sister leave, the staff felt somewhat strange. They especially regretted not being able to see Wu He's Junior Sister's pretty face. Of course, some of the more sensitive ones felt a little odd inside.
The Shopkeeper had always lived in the inner courtyard. Although he seldom appeared, with someone so capable present, they felt secure. Suddenly, he had gone out, and at night too. It made them feel indescribably strange.
"Stop standing around."
Hu Ma, seeing the situation, said, "There's no night patrol tonight, but we still need to light the lanterns."
With the Shopkeeper gone, Hu Ma was in charge of the Manor. The staff dared not be careless and quickly went to take down the lanterns.
