By the time Ruan Qi finished treating Xi Xiaoran, it was nearly dawn.
Xi Jiuxin, feeling sorry for the young girl being so tired, didn't send her back to Yu Garden.
Of course, sharing a bed was out of the question. Old Master Xi, who guarded his grandson like a watchdog from any amorous advances, had already asked the servants to prepare a guest room.
Ruan Qi bid good night to several elders of the Xi Family and turned to leisurely soak in a bath.
After her bath, there came a knock from outside.
The young girl hurriedly put on her pajamas and went to open the door.
Upon seeing who was standing there, she couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"Xi..." the young girl stuttered nervously, "Good evening, Auntie!"
The woman in black nodded indifferently.
"I'd like to talk to you, may I?" she asked.
Ruan Qi quickly stepped aside, "Please come in, Auntie."
The woman in black thanked her and stepped into the bedroom.
The young girl followed her tentatively, "Auntie, you…"
