Zhulan, anxious about the child, walked away quickly. Xue Han, accompanied by two maids, headed outside while asking, "Did you see anything?"
Liu Jin and Liu Li, with their heads bowed, understood to deny seeing anything even if they had: "We didn't see anything."
Xue Han said somberly, "So you did see something after all."
The heads of Liu Jin and Liu Li dropped even lower, their mistress was becoming more and more like the lady of the house, "Yes."
Xue Han's eyes were sharp, "Even if you saw something, act as though you saw nothing."
Liu Jin and Liu Li felt a tightness in their chests and quickly responded, "Yes."
Xue Han, filled with concern, hurried back to the courtyard. Upon entering, she saw Wu Ning, her sister, sitting on a chair, staring at the purse in her hand. Xue Han sat down with furrowed brows and gestured for all the maids to leave, including the Wei Pozi and the Shui Pozi.
Only then did Wu Ning notice Xue Han's return, "Have the guests left?"
