Hua Nuo Town.
Su Lu is disguised as Howard, preparing to end this act of drama. At least he needs to give Howard a sudden reason to leave. He checks his surroundings one last time, altering the memories of anyone who seems strange.
'This is the self-cultivation of an actor.'
Su Lu sarcastically thought to himself.
He pushed open the door to a room, handing his coat to a maid. He then saw the merchant's wife - Rose. She greeted him with a smile, "Little Howard, welcome home."
In her and her husband's impression, Howard was a rich relative's son, someone they had to work hard to please.
"Indeed."
Su Lu smiled, ready to explain his reason for leaving.
At this moment, he heard Rose complaining, "Someone came by today, said he was a doctor, accompanied by people from the town hall. They said they were conducting a census on outsiders in our town, how strange... "
She sat sluggishly on the sofa, petting a snow-white cat.
