Chun Yun accompanied the girl for dinner, then joined her for a digestif walk, and only after seeing her lying asleep on the couch did she leave Yunqi Pavilion to return to her own courtyard.

"Someone has been sent to keep an eye on the He Family."

If we trace it back, that was when Madam, you were taking care of the lady and had not left home, and with so many people from our mansion and the embroidery workshop, they would have likely heard something by now."
