Su Mingyue was furious and had something on her mind, so she couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep. On a whim, she got up while Luo Xiaoniang was asleep.

People say that when the night is dark and the wind is high, it is the perfect time for murder and arson. Looking at the pitch black outside, Su Mingyue thought of Su Nanxi sleeping soundly, and her heart felt heavy.

He turned his head and glanced at where he was living. His anger surged, and his passion burned. He would soon reach the level required for alchemy!

After Su Nanxi returned to the manor, everything in the manor was done in her favor, and everything she received was the best. It was so unfair!

Su Mingyue still lives in this dilapidated North Garden!

They have applied to higher authorities multiple times, requesting to return to their former courtyard. If that's not possible, they'd even be willing to be given a new place, but no one has paid any attention to them!

There were even rumors circulating in the manor that the mother and daughter were a menace and that they could not be allowed to stay in the manor any longer!

They were just women; how could they be considered a menace?

Besides, their birth dates and times are all very auspicious, and there is no conflict between them and the Marquis's mansion or its people. This was something we knew long ago!

Therefore, neither the mother nor the daughter was willing to admit that they were the cause of the disaster!

Even if the troublemakers in the manor brought up the head chef, they didn't take it seriously!

This unfair treatment infuriated Su Mingyue.

So she grabbed a dagger, hid it in her sleeve, and sneaked out.

Thinking that it was already late at night, everyone was asleep, or at least drowsy, and that was the perfect time to slip into Xihe Courtyard. If they missed it, they might not have another chance!

People usually do things with one burst of energy; if they procrastinate, they might lose the courage.

Get to work while you're still feeling inspired!

Just as Su Mingyue came out, Su Nanxi received the news. Coincidentally, Ye Qingyu had just left, and she had just lain down and hadn't fallen asleep yet.

So Su Nanxi got up, dressed, and waited quietly for Su Mingyue to arrive.

They've been so sincere, sneaking over in the middle of the night to see her; she couldn't very well go to sleep first!

The night is long, which is indeed a good time for a long chat!

Yes, the atmosphere is just right for doing accounting and reviewing accounts.

If Su Mingyue hadn't come, she would have had to look for another opportunity. But now that she's delivered herself to her doorstep, what happens afterward is none of her business.

Su Mingyue was also surprised that Su Nanxi was still awake. No, it was that no one in Xihe Courtyard was asleep!

He was dressed neatly and showed no signs of fatigue; he had been waiting for her to come!

It turns out this woman knew she was coming all along!

That's outrageous!

Su Mingyue felt that she had no privacy or secrets left, and everything was under Su Nanxi's control and exposed completely. She thought she had hidden it well!

It felt like someone had ripped off my fig leaf, and that sense of shame surged up instantly.

However, Su Mingyue was able to adjust herself quickly. As long as she didn't admit anything, who could do anything to her?

"Uh, I couldn't sleep last night, so I came out for a walk! I came out for a walk! Before I knew it, I ended up here with you, it's all because the night view is so enchanting! Well, it's too late, so I won't disturb you any longer. I won't come in, I'll be going now!"

Su Nanxi looked at Su Mingyue with a half-smile, her bright eyes shining especially in the darkness.

This is also what Su Mingyue is jealous of. Why is Su Nanxi's eye so big and beautiful, while hers is so ordinary?

But at this moment, Su Mingyue had no mood to be jealous. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. The other person hadn't slept yet, and she had been discovered. How could she continue?

If it gets too late, you might not be able to leave even if you want to.

That's true, but from the moment Su Mingyue sneaked over, it wasn't so easy for her to go back.

Su Nanxi was already waiting for her, so naturally she wouldn't let her go easily.

"No, please! Third sister, you've come all this way, why don't you come in and sit for a while before you leave? There's no one else here, just the two of us sisters, it's the perfect time to catch up! During the day, with so many people around, it's not good for us to chat for long, is it? I've already prepared tea, have a cup before you go!"

Su Nanxi smiled sweetly, spoke gently, and was very enthusiastic.

But what Su Mingyue felt was that it was very creepy!

The Su Nanxi of the past was not like this!

Her intuition was right; it felt like a completely different person, and there was something sinister about it!

Even though Su Nanxi smiled sweetly and spoke gently, it felt like the air around her was radiating coldness!

Su Mingyue suddenly remembered that Su Nanxi had come to see her at night before. She couldn't help but wonder if the person in front of her was some kind of ghost or monster, otherwise why was he so creepy?

"No, no! It's getting late! I should go back! If we want to chat, we have plenty of time during the day; I'm always free! I'll come back during the day!"

Su Mingyue glanced over and saw Su Nanxi's smiling face. Just then, the light shone on her, creating a play of light and shadow, making her look just like a fox demon from a book. Her heart pounded in fright!

He quickly refused, and then turned to leave.

Unfortunately, she couldn't even turn around, because someone immediately walked over and blocked her way.

Su Mingyue panicked even more. In her haste, she forgot that she had brought a dagger, and it clattered to the ground.

As a result, everyone's eyes were drawn to the dagger.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The dagger, however, shone brightly under the light, giving off a cool and stylish vibe.

Su Mingyue's expression changed instantly. After realizing what had happened, she tried to pick it up, but a figure flashed before her eyes, and when she looked down at the ground, the dagger was gone.

It was found again, now in Bailu's hands.

Bai Lu held the dagger, looking at it with great interest from side to side, and finally exclaimed in admiration, "A fine piece of stuff!"

Su Mingyue tried to snatch it, but Bai Lu turned around and dodged it, continuing, "This dagger is so heavy! Look at the material and decorations, it's worth a fortune! Wow! It's gleaming silver and incredibly sharp! If someone gets stabbed by it, it could be fatal! Miss San is really cautious; even in her own residence, she doesn't forget to bring something for self-defense!"

Su Mingyue knew she couldn't outmaneuver Bai Lu. Seeing that Bai Lu had already pulled the dagger away, she dared not try to snatch it anymore. Just like Bai Lu said, that thing was incredibly powerful. If she accidentally touched it, she would lose a piece of her skin!

Knowing that Bai Lu was saying this to her on purpose, she pretended not to understand the implication. "It's just a little trinket, it's delicate, so I like it and like to carry it around! Well, at home, why would I need to guard against anything? I'm just used to it! There are tons of those little trinkets on the street, they're not worth much. If you like them, I'll give you one sometime!"

Bai Lu smiled and looked at Su Mingyue, "Really? Then I thank you in advance, Third Miss! This thing probably costs over ten thousand taels of silver! Third Miss is so generous!"

Su Mingyue's expression changed instantly: over ten thousand taels of silver!
