This was probably the best night of sleep Hua Xiaomai had since the Lianshun Escort Agency's incident, not a single dream, and she woke up to broad daylight.
Meng Yuhuai had come straight home from the forest on the outskirts of the city last night, and today he still had some follow-up matters to attend to. He had to meet with Magistrate Tao and couldn't stay to rest at home. After breakfast, he quickly led out Old Black and left, telling Hua Xiaomai he would try to return as early as possible.
Old Lady Meng was extremely dissatisfied; she had a cold expression throughout breakfast, and once he left, her anger surged to the top of her head. She slammed her chopsticks down and said indignantly, "What is this attitude! I've been worried sick for him, unable to eat or sleep well, my heart almost leaping out of my chest, and yet, he doesn't even bother to explain what happened and just turns around and leaves!"
