Hua Manman stopped in her tracks.
She glanced around and saw no one nearby.
It was just her, Hua Qingqing, and the four maidservants following behind them.
Hua Manman took a deep breath, suppressing the guilt in her heart. She spoke to Hua Qingqing in a low voice.
"Sister, I have something very important to tell you in private. Can we speak alone for a moment?"
'Time was running out. She couldn't delay any longer. She had to complete that god-awful mission as soon as possible.'
Seeing her serious expression, Hua Qingqing believed her.
As it happened, there was a rockery nearby with a small, exquisite octagonal pavilion on top.
The two sisters followed the stairs up the rockery and came to a stop inside the Octagonal Pavilion.
The maidservants were left at the bottom.
From this angle and distance, the maidservants wouldn't know what the sisters said or did.
Hua Qingqing asked curiously, "Second Sister, what did you want to tell me?"
