Lin Qing looked at the sun outside, preparing to wait for Uncle Azhong to pick her up.
She stood behind a wall and soon saw Lin Du with a gloomy face followed by Hu Zhi walking toward her direction.
Lin Qing hid further back, not wanting to talk to them.
She heard Hu Zhi speaking anxiously, "… she said it was that young girl, very pretty but with a mouth sharp as a knife. Otherwise, everything would have been moved last night, and she would have returned the key to me. How could all these things have happened?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's hurry back home. It's bad luck!" Lin Du said grumpily, "Day after day, it's like we're bringing shame upon the Hu family."
The two quarreled as they left.
At the same time, Shangguan Wan followed a plain-looking old woman towards Lin Qing's direction.
This old woman was named Second Aunt Zhang, who came from Xiangjiang but spoke fluent Beidu dialect.
