"If you don't go, then I'll go myself." Lin Jiaojiao reached out her hand, indicating she wanted the necklace back.
After much hesitation, Xuemei finally accepted the necklace, "So, should I go now?"
It was getting dark outside, and East City was quite far away; she might not get back until late at night.
If she brought a man into the courtyard at night, would she still want to live?
So she said, "No rush, you can go tomorrow."
She needed to go out tomorrow too. As far as she knew, Prince An did not attend the imperial court, so she could take advantage of Yan Sihan attending the court and slip out of the mansion.
But she couldn't just walk out blatantly, so she said, "Xuemei, have someone deliver a message to the Wang family, for Miss Wang, saying that I will visit her tomorrow."
Miss Wang, named Ziyan, was the only daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites, and they had been close friends since childhood. Ziyan was now past the age of fifteen but remained unmarried.
