Zhulan thought to herself, Shi Qing was using Wang Ru, but Wang Ru was too dumb. Shi Qing didn't dare to keep her close for fear that the pig teammate might bring him down. As for Wang Ru, she had her own schemes in mind, still fixating on the male lead!
Lady Zhou stayed until dinner time and had to leave for home only then.
With nothing else to do, Zhulan's curiosity got the better of her and she wanted to know what Wang Ru would do next.
That night, just as Zhulan was dozing off to sleep, she found out exactly what Wang Ru's plan was. She was about to fall into a deep sleep when a piercing scream shattered the quiet night, exceptionally clear. The cries for help about a murder grew louder and louder. Initially groggy, Zhulan was jolted awake, her eyes snapping open in shock as a cold sweat broke out on her back, dampening her hair as her heart thudded wildly.
