The more the butler said, the weirder both of them felt. This was especially true for Xiaoqing. Her intuition told her that this person was extremely important to the case, but as a local tycoon, she could easily send a 'suspect' to the court if she alerted them.

As a result, the two of them stayed in the Zhao manor cautiously for two days. On the third day, Xiaoqing found the maid that served Miss Zhao and chatted with her.

This maid was also extremely vigilant. However, she had to help Xiaoqing with her work and gifts. That night, when they were resting and chatting, the servant girl told Xiaoqing everything she knew.

So it turned out that this maid knew about the matter between her young mistress and Chang Yu from the beginning to end. Because that day, Miss Zhao's door board broke. Miss Zhao told her to first lean it against the wall, and then inform the housekeeper to find a carpenter to fix it.

However, Miss Zhao suddenly had a strange thought. She used that half door as a ladder and stepped on it to look at the scenery outside the courtyard.

At first, the servant girl thought that Miss Zhao only wanted to see the outside world so she didn't take it to heart. He even helped Miss hide the matter of the half door to her house.

Then, unexpectedly, there was an everjade at home. He shared a bed with Miss Zhao night after night. This must have been hard on the maidservants. Every time Chang Yu arrived, the servant girls would have to stand guard for them, afraid that someone would come and disturb them.

One night, however, the maidservant was too careless. She thought that no one in the house knew about this, so she left her post and returned to her room to rest.

That night, Lady Zhao, Miss Zhao's mother, brought a few maidservants to inspect the guest house. Several servants stood at the entrance of the guest house.

In the end, that night, for some reason, Chang Yu was not there and coincidentally escaped this calamity. But when Madame Zhao saw the half door, she also became more cautious. He knew that what his old master said to him wasn't all false.

In the following few days, due to the appearance of Madame Zhao, Miss Zhao did not dare to let Chang Yu come.

It was not until a few days ago that Miss Zhao, as per her agreement, picked up a white handkerchief and waved it towards the outside of the wall. Then, she threw the rope out of the wall. Not long after, he heard a sound coming from the other side of the wall.

Miss Zhao was full of anticipation for her lover's arrival. However, the person who had come was not her lover.

At this moment, Miss Zhao panicked, not knowing what to do. If there was a thief, he would be caught. But then again, how did that thief get in? He couldn't possibly say that he had used a rope to bring him in, right?

Just as Miss Zhao was feeling anxious, she heard a sound coming from the Moon Gate. At this moment, Steward Zhao's face was ashen. Several servants beside him were holding long torches and sticks in their hands.

With a command from Steward Zhao, he closed the Moon Gate. A few sounds could be heard, and then the sound of water could be heard.

At that time, the maidservant had just gone to the toilet, and upon returning, she secretly witnessed this scene, which frightened her so much that she quickly went back to her room to sleep. Since the maid wasn't there that night, she had escaped this calamity.

The next day, Xiaoqing told Zhang Long about her information. Zhang Long also told him that he had found out something similar to Xiaoqing. After that, the two of them sneaked out of the Zhao Mansion.
