It turns out Qiuyue is extremely jealous. Over ten days ago, after being scolded by Madam, she realized her position was at risk and would inevitably be replaced by Li Xian.
By then, her situation would be bleak, with no one to care for her, a gap she couldn't accept. In her desolation, she thought of the money she'd accumulated over the years. If she left the manor and settled elsewhere, she could still lead a comfortable life.
Thus, the thought of escape was born.
Qiuyue had served Madam for over a decade, knowing all her big and small secrets. She found an opportunity when Madam was in seclusion, leaving silently and unnoticed. Had it not been for encountering the Flower Cage Sect, she might have truly escaped far away.
