In the past, back in the Duke's mansion, her mother would never allow her to watch this kind of thing.
But things are different now!
When Liu Muxuan accompanied Shen Yueyin to the kitchen, he didn't let anyone follow them, nor did he want to make too much of a commotion.
Just as Shen Yueyin finished eating and came out, she accidentally bumped into a dark figure darting into the backyard.
"Did I... see an assassin?" she wondered, somewhat dazed.
