After Gui Ning and Lady Tushan left, Xiao Mo, who had been in the woodshed all day, walked out of its courtyard to get some fresh air.
Tushan Mansion didn't have many strict rules.
Aside from important courtyards like those of the Lady, the Young Miss, and the storerooms, servants were free to go most places.
As he walked, Xiao Mo found himself in Jiao Yue Court without realizing it.
Jiao Yue Court was the very place where Xiao Mo and Tushan Jing Ci had been attacked the previous night.
But after only a day, Jiao Yue Court had already been repaired.
Just as he stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Mo saw a little girl sitting by the edge of Jiao Yue Lake.
The little girl was holding a thin bamboo pole with a fishing line attached, sitting by the lake and fishing earnestly.
"Sister Yue Shi, why aren't the fish biting?"
Tushan Jing Ci said melancholically, propping her chin on her hand.
