The little guy sorted the silkworms and, afraid of being discovered for cheating, picked up his paper box and feigned sleepiness to leave the living room.
Tang Li noticed the wall clock; it was almost ten o'clock.
So, she decided not to stay any longer at Tan Palace.
It was obvious to her that if it weren't for her presence, Xiao Minglan would have gone to rest already.
When Tang Li stood up to take her leave, Xiao Minglan spoke up, "Let Tan Palace arrange a car to take you back. It's late at night, and it's not safe for a girl to take a taxi alone."
As she said this, she turned her head to instruct Song Baiyan, "After you escort our guest out, I won't come downstairs again."
Song Baiyan put his teacup back in place and responded to Xiao Minglan's words.
Tang Li didn't forget the reason for her visit to Tan Palace tonight. Before she left, she took out two folded paper talismans from her backpack and gave them to Xiao Minglan.
