Bei Yutang looked at the sky and felt a little worried.
She hasn't returned for such a long time, Zhao Erhu must be anxious.
Just as Bei Yutang worried, Zhao Erhu waited for Bei Yutang to come back for a long time and wanted to go out to look for her, but with his status, he didn't dare to search the huge brothel.
Seeing his anxiety, Miss Mudan said softly, "Sir, why don't you go back and check? Perhaps the young man has already returned home and just forgot to tell you."
Zhao Erhu felt that what she said made sense, and headed towards Bei Yutang's home with a glimmer of hope.
By the time Zhao Erhu reached the gate, it was already late at night. He didn't know if they had already gone to bed. If she came back and they were already asleep, and he woke her up, that wouldn't be a good idea.
But if she hadn't come back, that would be another matter.
Zhao Erhu thought of the two people in the room. They were just two children. If they knew that Madam Mu was missing, it would only cause them more worry. Forget it, he decided to search the city himself.
Zhao Erhu glanced at the yard, then turned and left silently.
Bei Yutang was tossing and turning in bed. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she sat up and slowly opened the door to the wing room. She couldn't help but glance at the main room and slowly walked towards the courtyard. However, just halfway through, she seemed to have a sense of something and raised her head, just in time to see a person standing in the darkness.
Bei Yutang was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and wandered aimlessly in the yard, wandering towards the kitchen.
Ying Yi had been lurking on the rooftop, hoping to be able to detect any disturbance immediately. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he saw the maid sneaking out of the room.
He jumped down and was about to ask her purpose, but soon noticed that she looked strange.
He followed the maid and watched her walk into the kitchen, watching her wash the rice, then chop the rice with a kitchen knife on the empty chopping board with a dull expression. The "dong, dong, dong" sound echoed faintly in the dark night.
Yingyi was standing at the kitchen door, looking at her.
Her symptoms are very similar to sleepwalking, but to make sure it is real sleepwalking, he needs to continue observing.
Ying Yi walked up and took the kitchen knife from her hand. She actually kept the cutting gesture, as if the knife was still in her hand. When Bei Yutang turned to light the fire, he hit her in the face and swung the kitchen knife at her.
In the dark room, a silver light flashed, which was the light of the sharp knife climbing up the mountain.
Bei Yutang resisted the urge to dodge and remained in a dazed state.
Just as the knife was about to hit her cheek, it miraculously retreated and returned to Yingyi's hand.
During this process, Ying Yi had been observing Bei Yutang's every move. Seeing that she did not frown at all, nor did she dodge at all, it was obvious that she really had sleepwalking.
Ying Yi returned to the rooftop and lurked, listening to the creepy thudding sound.
The sleepwalking lasted for a full quarter of an hour. Bei Yutang staggered back to her room and lay back on the bed. She knew that with him here, it would be impossible for her to leave the courtyard.
Sneaking out at night is not an option, so it seems I can only use the last method. However, that method takes a bit of a long time, and I’m afraid Xiao Moer and the others waiting outside will be worried.
