Xiang Wan made up her mind and decided to follow Qin Rong to see what she was thinking.

That day, Xiang Wan made an excuse to go back to her room, then secretly hid behind a large tree next to Qin Rong's courtyard. A short while later, she saw Qin Rong change into a white hooded robe and hurriedly leave through the back door. Xiao Lan scouted ahead, occasionally glancing around to see if anyone was there.

Xiang Wan saw them step out of the courtyard gate and then quietly followed them.

After leaving the gate, Qin Rong turned left and right through the alleyways, walking for quite some time before finally stopping by a secluded riverbank. Behind a tree, she took off her hooded robe, handed it to Xiao Lan, and then, under a pretext, sent her away before staggering towards the river.

Xiang Wan took a closer look and saw that this woman, dressed in white and looking as delicate as a willow in the wind, was probably going to see her lover. She chuckled to herself and followed her.

"Young master, this humble woman greets you."

Hearing Qin Rong's cheesy voice, Xiang Wan immediately got goosebumps all over her body.

Qin Rong's profile was exquisite, her long hair flowing, and her gauze dress made her seem as if she were about to ride the wind away. With Qin Rong's looks, she probably wouldn't even notice an ordinary young master. The man she was now using her charm to seduce must be quite handsome and of high status.

Xiang Wan glanced discreetly in the direction Qin Rong was facing and saw a man sitting by the river with his back to her. His black hair was combed up and secured with a jade hairpin. A purple robe was casually draped over the grass, and a bamboo basket sat beside him.

Only this man was fishing by the river, and a man who looked like an attendant was standing not far away, but his appearance was not clear from the distance.

After Qin Rong curtsied to the man, seeing that he did not respond, she stomped her foot in embarrassment and took a few steps forward, seemingly wanting to get closer.

Shh! The fish will be scared away.

The man stopped Qin Rong without turning his head.
