They say that those women were almost burning holes through the walls with their longing glances; if uncle ever went to that courtyard, the women inside would explode before he even set foot in the doorway, each of them looking like they wanted to tear him to pieces.
So terrifying, no wonder uncle dares not go. Even the most favored concubine in the legends is summoned by sending a servant to call her out to serve.
After soaking for a while, the bathwater began to cool, and Gu Youyou called out, "Xiang Chun, add some hot water."
There was no response from outside, nor any sound at all.
Gu Youyou found it a bit strange and listened carefully.

Gu Youyou frowned and called out loudly again.
"Xiang Chun!"
Still, no movement.
Could she have gone outside the courtyard?
