Zhuzhu may have drunk too much tea and wanted to go to the bathroom, so she turned around to find Chunhong.
Yang Lihua hardened her heart, motioned Chunhong to come forward, and gave her some detailed instructions.
Chunhong kept nodding, then led Zhuzhu out the door.
Zhuzhu was waiting at the door, and Chunhong quickly slipped to the corner of the room and picked up the incense burner. The two of them met up and ran away.
