But he also said something silently to Jiang Qingwan, who was standing inside the mansion gate.
"Wait for me to come back."
Jiang Qingwan didn't notice at all.
As she watched the long procession depart, her unease grew stronger.
After everyone had left, Qinghui appeared across the street.
She had been standing there for an unknown amount of time, and her gaze had just returned from the departing queue. Upon seeing Jiang Qingwan, she immediately walked over, her eyes still showing signs of fatigue, as if she hadn't had a proper night's sleep in a long time.

"I don't need to rest, but would you like to change your clothes?"
Jiang Qingwan then remembered that she was adorned with pearls and gold ornaments from head to toe, and was also wearing heavy palace attire.
Instead of returning to the mansion, she went to a side alley and went straight back to the backyard to change into some neat casual clothes. After telling Lian'er and Li Dou, she hurriedly left with Qing Sui.
