Su Wanwan grimaced and rubbed the bruised area for a while before stopping.
She rolled her eyes, her mind racing.
Since Su Mu had already told her about leaving the manor, it would probably only take a day or two for him to send her away. She decided to take the initiative and leave the General's manor tomorrow.
Having made her decision, Su Wanwan planned to take a bath later and then change into the clothes containing the gold pieces. Thinking of this, she lay back down on the bed and weakly called out, "Perilla, Purple Wood~~"
After calling for a long time without getting a response, Su Wanwan threw the exquisite vase next to the bed onto the ground.
"Bang!" The porcelain made a crisp sound.
The noise finally attracted the maids.
Zimu and Zisu rushed in from outside the door. Zisu was carrying a tray with a bowl of dark medicine on it.
"Miss, you're finally awake. Oh? The vase is broken, are you alright?" Zi Mu ran to Su Wanwan's side and asked with concern.
Su Wanwan shook her head weakly, "I'm fine. You two hurry up and prepare some water, I need to take a shower in a bit. I feel sticky and uncomfortable all over."
"No, Miss, you can't take a bath. You've just woken up; you need to rest properly." Zisu came over with the medicine.
Su Wanwan glanced at the dark, murky medicine, then subtly moved further into the bed. "This, this medicine..."
"Miss, this was prescribed by the royal physician. Please drink it. You'll feel better after you drink it," Zisu comforted her.
Su Wanwan: ......
She's not sick, so how can she not drink it?
She thought this way, and that's what she said.
Naturally, Su Wanwan's opinion was firmly rejected by the two maids.
Having no other choice and not wanting to cause any more trouble, Su Wanwan picked up the medicine. "After I drink the medicine, prepare water for me; I want to take a bath."
Just kidding, it's the middle of summer, she can't sleep without taking a shower!
With a tragic expression, Su Wanwan drank the dark, murky medicine.
Zimu and Zisu reluctantly prepared water and clothes for her, but Su Wanwan didn't dare to specify what style of undergarment and bodice she wanted to wear, lest she arouse suspicion.
After taking a bath, Su Wanwan lay down on the bed wearing clean and comfortable clothes.
She yawned, feigning exhaustion and sleepiness, and waved Zisu and Zimu away. Once she was sure the two were far away, Su Wanwan got out of bed, rummaged under her pillow for her inner garment and bodice containing gold sequins, and quickly changed into them.
Then, he folded the clothes he had taken off and placed them at the bottom of the trunk.
Only then did Su Wanwan lie back down on the bed.
Yes, her undergarments and bodice were a bit heavy because they contained gold pieces. But this weight made her feel incredibly at ease.
Around four in the morning, Su Wanwan struggled to get up again.
She still has things to do.
So, still half asleep, she swayed and slowly climbed out of bed, then went to the dressing table.
She found a pair of scissors she had hidden before and used some skill to pry open the brass lock on the black wooden box.
Next, she ransacked the black wooden box, the dressing table, and other items. Finally, she opened the window and stuffed the scissors she was holding under her pillow.
After doing all this, Su Wanwan went back to bed. Yawning, she drifted off to sleep again.
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard a heavy sound as something fell to the ground.
Su Wanwan, who had worked in the military for a long time, was very vigilant. She was awakened by the dull noise.
Clutching the scissors hidden under her pillow, she went on high alert. Her eyes barely opened a crack, and upon seeing a figure both strange and familiar, Su Wanwan's lips curled into a smile—
