Chapter 1136 Someone has been outside the window all along.

Yingxi closed the door again, walked back, and touched the pot; it was indeed hot.

However, Shu Yu had just finished eating bird's nest porridge, and her stomach was full of water, so she didn't feel like drinking any. Besides, the bird's nest porridge was cooked just right and wasn't too greasy.

Moreover, although the temperature was low at night, Shu Yu still wanted to drink cold water.

She didn't touch the kettle of boiling water, went to wash up, and was so tired when she came back that she fell asleep almost immediately after lying down, completely forgetting that she wanted to drink water.

She slept for nearly an hour and a half when she heard a soft voice in her ear, "Miss, Miss?"

Shu Yu suddenly woke up with a start and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"That's a bit strange," Ying Xi said in a low voice. "There's been someone coming over every now and then to listen for any noise under the windowsill."

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. "Did you see who it was?"

“I just checked carefully, and it’s the maid who said she would bring a pot of hot water.”

Shu Yu slowly sat up. "She was listening to what was happening under our window?" That was indeed quite strange.

As the two were talking, they heard faint footsteps outside again, and Shu Yu and Ying Xi fell silent at the same time.

Not long after, the person left again.

Shu Yu's gaze involuntarily fell on the teapot on the table, and she narrowed her eyes, "That teapot is probably suspicious."

"Miss, what should we do now?"

"Give it a try."

Shu Yu asked her to light the candles, and the room was brightened. The candlelight shone through the window, and sure enough, there was noise outside again.

After the person outside squatted under the window again, Shu Yu stretched and got out of bed, deliberately saying to Ying Xi, "I talked too much with Uncle Yao before going to bed, and now I'm so thirsty. Ying Xi, get me a glass of water."

"Yes, Miss."

Yingxi went to the table to get the teapot. Although the movement was small, it was exceptionally quiet in the night, and the maid outside heard it very clearly.

Shu Yu took the teacup, pretended to take two sips but it wasn't enough, so she asked Ying Xi to pour her another cup.

After finishing her drink, Shu Yu lay down again.

Yingxi walked over and suddenly called out anxiously, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong? Miss, don't scare me."

Shu Yu rolled her eyes at her and said silently, "Your tone is too stiff. At least be more sincere."

Ying Xi was in a dilemma. Looking at her young mistress sitting there listlessly getting dressed, how could she possibly feel anything genuine? She wasn't good at it.

Fortunately, the maid outside the window didn't need her to be overly emotional. After hearing Ying Xi's voice, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and murmured, "It's done."

Then he turned around and left.

Shu Yuying said to Xi, "Go and follow them, but be careful."

"Yes." Yingxi quickly followed the maid out.

Shu Yu dressed and tied her hair up simply. Then she took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag, poured out all the pills, and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

He then walked to the table and poured some tea from the teapot into a porcelain bottle.

After doing all this, Yingxi returned.

Her expression was not good. "Miss, I followed that maid all the way there and saw her go into the room of the Yao family's young lady."

Then her expression turned slightly strange. "However, the one who came out with that maid was Yao An, the young master of the Yao family."

Is Yao An in Yao Hong's room in the middle of the night?
