A thin man skillfully tied the mouth of the sack in the dark and stuffed the bag out through the car window on the wall.

He also crawled out.

The servants outside had not noticed it yet.

Shouted to the carriage,

"Hold on tight, sir, let's get going!"

……

In the city of Jinling, in the Xue Mansion.

In the backyard, there is a room with carved beams and painted rafters, and rich and elegant furnishings.

A young girl in a honey-colored jacket and a light yellow silk cotton skirt was carefully checking the many accounts on the table in front of her.

The girl's lips were red without any makeup, her eyebrows were green without any paint, her face was like a silver basin, and her eyes were like water apricots.

She has fair skin and graceful manners.

From time to time, she frowned slightly, and according to the accounts, she raised her slender fingers and gently moved a small and exquisite abacus made entirely of gold.

The sound of abacus colliding continued to ring out in the house.

In front of the girl's table stood two beautiful maids serving her.

The one on the left tilted his head slightly, and stood on tiptoe from time to time, looking at the abacus in his lady's hand.

The other maid stood respectfully with her hands hanging down. If you didn't look closely, you would think that she didn't even blink and there was a hint of dullness in her eyes.

Only the touch of rouge between the eyebrows makes her look different.

After a long while, the girl who was fiddling with the abacus stopped and let out a long sigh.

The maid on the left came forward and said,

"Miss, it's getting late. How about I go and order you some food?"

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at the maid. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head slightly and said,

"No need, Ying'er, just ask the servants to make me a bowl of Tremella soup. I don't have much of an appetite today."

Ying'er nodded quickly and said,

"Okay, miss!"

He bowed slightly and was about to leave.

But was stopped.

"Ying'er, why is it so quiet outside today? Where's my brother? It's already the hour of the night, and he hasn't come back yet?"

Ying'er stopped walking when she heard that, turned around and looked at her mistress, pouting helplessly and saying,

"Miss, you know, at this time, where else can the master go?"

The girl shook her head helplessly.

He pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

"Oh! I know!"

As he spoke, he picked out an account book from a pile of books nearby.

"Give this account to my mother and tell her that there are a few things I find ambiguous and ask her to arrange for someone to take a look."

Ying'er took the account book and nodded in response.

"Okay, miss!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with the account book in his arms.

The girl then began to sort out the accounts in front of her one by one.

He also put the small golden abacus into the box.

Then he slowly stood up,

The maid who was wearing a light pink silk dress and had a cinnabar mole on her forehead and had been motionless all the time seemed to come alive.

He hurried forward to support the girl.

The girl nodded slightly, looked at the maid with a smile and said,

"Xiangling, you stay in front and wait for my brother to come back. If it's still early, ask him to come to my place."

The maid called Xiangling nodded woodenly and said,

"Okay, miss, I've got that!"

Having said this, he bowed slightly and was about to leave.

But the girl grabbed his hand.

"Xiangling, I've been quite busy lately. I asked you to come here, but I haven't asked you what you think is your biggest fear yet."

Xiangling was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"The young lady treats Xiangling very well, and Xiangling is living a good life."

The girl looked at Xiangling, who was still a little dull, smiled, shook her head and said softly,

"Go ahead. If the people below need anything from you, just tell me."

"Okay, thank you, miss."

Xiangling nodded slightly slowly and turned to leave.

The girl looked at Xiangling's departing back, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

Then he walked back to the table, took out a round white pill from a small wooden box with his slender fingers and slowly put it into his mouth.

Just then, a gorgeously dressed woman walked in with two maids.
