As the lanterns were lit, Huaxu Square once again burst into a lively scene.
Graceful young women danced elegantly at the entrance, beckoning to passersby.
Across the way, a group of porters and beggars were taking advantage of the cool night air, gathered together playing dice and shouting from time to time.
Suddenly, a scream erupted from upstairs, and then all the men and women inside ran out in a panic.
The crowd looked over curiously. "What's going on? What happened at Huaxu Square?"
"I don't know!"
Soon, a disheveled man ran out in terror. "Ah! A ghost! A ghost!!"
As night fell, Zhen Niang arrived at the E Mansion.
She knelt, her face filled with shame.
Zhou Junlin lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable.
Zhen Niang raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping discreetly over his sharp, elegant jawline. "This subordinate has failed. I ask for the Prince's punishment."
"What happened?"
"Reporting to the Prince, someone at Huaxu Square saw... Governor E."
