Back in the bedroom, Niannian had already fallen asleep on the small bed, while Lianxin, keeping watch beside her, was nodding off with her chin propped up.
"Lianxin, that's enough, go sleep downstairs!"
Tang Qingxue woke Lianxin up.
Lianxin nodded, got up, and bowed to Yin Hun the Nineteenth before turning to leave.
Yin Hun the Nineteenth stopped her, "Come to my study, I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, Cousin!"
Lianxin followed Yin Hun the Nineteenth as they walked out.
Tang Qingxue watched their backs for a moment, guessing that Yin Hun the Nineteenth probably wanted to talk to Lianxin about Ah Wu.
With that thought, she didn't dwell on it further, and after changing into her nightgown, she got into bed...
Uncertain how much time passed, Tang Qingxue was startled awake by a chill. She opened her eyes to find herself lying on a pitch-black, icy stone floor, her body submerged in freezing water. What was going on?
