The tree is quite tall, and from Bai Er's position, he can see the situation in Zheng Qiu's courtyard clearly.
Bai Er chose a very comfortable position to lie down on his side, watching Gu En standing foolishly in Zheng Qiu's yard.
It was obvious that the oil lamp in Zheng Qiu's room was still on, which was probably why Gu En stood there frozen.
Bai Er could only see the situation in Zheng Qiu's courtyard. Because of the obstruction of the eaves, he could not see inside the house, but he could see light coming out.
Bai Er couldn't help but wonder if Miss Zheng was changing her clothes, judging by how terrified the Fourth Young Master was.
Zheng Qiu wasn't changing clothes; she had just finished washing up and was drying her hair.
Of course, her window wasn't wide open; it was just a crack, but that crack was enough for Gu En to see more.
Zheng Qiu inside was completely unaware that there was a big man standing in her yard watching her, and another big man lying in a big tree outside the yard watching the person standing in her yard.
She carefully dried her hair, her mind still on the model Gu Nian had given her.
Recently, she has grown to like that model more and more. Although her ten years of experience have given her a good understanding of human anatomy, that model has given her an even deeper understanding.
Besides the model, there was also a book containing much that she didn't know before.
So recently, since there's nothing much going on at the yamen, she's spent all her time thinking about these things, except for keeping an eye on the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
Also, as she grew up, she gradually discovered that she only felt relaxed when she shed all her burdens at home.
Since she started growing into a young woman, she has had to put on a facade. Sometimes she gets so tired that she feels like she can't breathe. She only lets loose when she's sleeping at home.
Even if she's home alone during the day, she still has to pretend, just in case someone comes.
So this is when she is most relaxed, her mind is more agile, and she feels that everything she thinks about is going smoothly.
Gu En blinked, then looked at the person sitting in the room, and he was stunned.
When did Xiao Qiu's... well, it seems to have gotten bigger than most girls'...
Wait a minute, he never noticed before, he was clearly the same as him, wasn't he?
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, and now he could see it much more clearly.
Gu En felt like her brain had completely stopped working.
Although Zheng Qiu had no martial arts skills, she was much more alert than others. She suddenly felt a gaze watching her from the shadows. She didn't stop moving, but simply turned around naturally, stood up, and went to look out the window.
When Gu En saw her move, he immediately slipped away. It was his subconscious reaction; his actions were faster than his thoughts.
Zheng Qiu went to the window, opened it to look outside, but found nothing. Then he closed the window and locked it.
She stood her half-dry hair up, disguised her clothes, took the dagger from under her pillow, and then left the room with an oil lamp.
Gu En hid in a corner of the courtyard. Hearing Zheng Qiu's voice as if he was about to come out, he looked around and decided to climb over the wall and leave.
Just as Zheng Qiu left the house, Gu En climbed over the courtyard wall and ran quite a distance before stopping.
Zheng Qiu was surrounded by government officials, and feeling guilty, he didn't dare get too close.
