”This... ”Fine!” Then he gave Spring Grass a hateful look. ”Look, I woke up the girl. I don't know what big news it was that made me have to say it at this time.”

Inside the room, Chu Yuehua had already sat up. She covered herself with the blanket and looked drowsy, ”It's Spring Grass!” Is there anything important at this time? You want to see me at this time? ”

Spring Grass followed behind Du Ruo with a sense of obedience. She didn't raise her eyes or kneel down to say something.

He first raised his eyes to look at the furnishings in the room, then looked timidly at Chu Yuehua, before lowering his eyes.

With such an action, Chu Yuehua did not understand what he meant: ”What are you trying to say?”

”Where's the girl's cloak?”

Spring Grass didn't look up. She only asked quietly.

”What cloak?” Chu Yuehua retracted the tiredness from her face, but her eyes did not look tired at all.

”It's the one I was wearing when we left. I put it away for you a while ago. It's a black cloak with blue jewelry.”

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, completely objective in tone.

Du Ruo's sharp eyes immediately fell on her body, ”What are you saying? What kind of tone was that? She actually spoke to a girl in such a tone. Did she really forget who she was? How can you be so impudent before a lady? ”

Chu Yuehua did not stop Du Ruoruo from scolding, but she did not get angry like her either. Instead, she quietly looked at the people standing on the ground.

The room suddenly became completely silent. It was as if one could hear the breathing of others in the chamber outside. Of course, this was just a psychological hallucination.

Under the light of the lantern, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Spring Grass' forehead. Even in such a cold night, she still felt waves of heat.

”What do you mean by that?”

Chu Yuehua was still hugging the quilt, leaning back on the pillow. Her small face, amidst her scattered black hair, was terrifyingly white. There was a lazy expression on her face, which didn't match her childish face.

When Spring Grass raised her head and saw her like this, she suddenly had a very scary thought. It was as if the little girl in front of her was no longer a human but had been possessed by that monster.

It had a hazy feel to it.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and tried her best to calm her heart. Since she had already reached this step, she had to continue no matter what: ”Miss and Du Ruo went out tonight. They're both wearing black cloaks. I saw it with my own eyes.”

”Nonsense!” Chu Yuehua spoke indifferently, but it didn't seem like a reprimand, ”I didn't go anywhere tonight. When did I go out with Du Ruo and put on a cloak? You sure know how to talk. ”

”The girl knows I'm not lying. I saw it with my own eyes, the one I just said.”

Chu Yuehua indifferently swept her gaze over her, and then lightly closed her eyes. A smile that was so faint that it could almost not be seen appeared on her face, ”You came to me in such a mad manner late at night just to say such ridiculous words? I don't have time to listen. ”

She covered her lips and yawned, ”Go back! ”Don't take it seriously after the dream tonight, just go back and have a good rest. We still need to continue working tomorrow!”
