Later that night, Lou Qianxue brought Lou Xiaoxiao out from Mountain River Space. She laid her down. Lou Qianxue had yet to sleep when she again heard movements outside.
"Fire! There's a fire! Everyone, wake up! There's a fire…"
Lou Xiaoxiao also woke up in a daze. "What's happening?"
"Something caught fire," Lou Qianxue calmly replied, "But it did not spread to our area here. Continue to sleep."
"Oh." Lou Xiaoxiao fell asleep the moment she lay down again.
The next day arrived.
When Lou Xiaoxiao woke up, she heard that the lodging had caught fire and a corpse was thrown at the entrance. She asked her roommate. "The girl from our carriage tried to assassinate you yesterday, and that corpse at the entrance… was also one of the girls from our carriage. Could it be…"
Lou Qianxue nodded. "I killed her."
Lou Xiaoxiao opened her sleepy eyes. "She also took action against you?"
"Yes."
