Xiaobao had secretly slipped away during his nap. They had their own room in Wutong Courtyard, but they usually didn't sleep much. During the day, they would rest at Old Madam's room and at night, they would rest in Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan's room.
Everyone was asleep, and the maidservant was also dozing off. Xiaobao quietly climbed off the bed, and no one was woken up.
It was only after Yu Wan finished acupuncture Yan Jiuchao and went to Old Madam's room to see if the three little fellows were naughty that she realized that a little black egg was missing.
At first, Yu Wan did not expect the little fellow to have left home. She thought that he had gone somewhere to steal food. She walked around the rooms where Xiaobao might have appeared and went to the private room to take a look. However, she still did not see anyone, so she guessed that the little fellow might not be in the courtyard anymore.
