Wei Ting was sentenced to one month of house arrest.  

A eunuch was stationed at his residence to supervise him.  

That night, Wei Ting did not return to Lihua Lane.  

Though he couldn’t return in person, he made sure to send something over.  

The moon was dim, and the wind was strong.  

Su Xiaoxiao had just put the three little ones to sleep and was about to rest herself.  

Suddenly, a shadowy figure swooped through the air like a ghost and arrived at Su Xiaoxiao’s window, tapping lightly on the windowsill.  

Su Xiaoxiao opened the window, puzzled, only to find that the figure had vanished. A letter had been left on the windowsill.  

She opened it and looked inside.  

It contained a thick stack of silver notes worth three thousand taels, along with a sparingly worded note: ‘For household expenses, away for a month, don’t miss me.’  

Su Xiaoxiao smiled.  

She gazed into the windless, silent courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Is that you, Xiao Hei?”  

“No.”  

A man’s voice replied.  

“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.

“Yuniang wrote a letter addressed to someone named Xiao Hei. Since it’s not you, then never mind.”  

The black-clad figure instantly flashed to the window.  

*Xiao Hei : Yuchi Xiu, because he likes to blend in the darkness.

—  

The Qin Residence.  

Qin Yanran returned to the west courtyard of the Duke Protector’s household.

She had had an extremely frustrating day.  

First, she was mocked and ridiculed by that young lady from the countryside, then she unexpectedly received three little uncles who were that woman’s sons.  

The three little ones ran around noisily in the courtyard, making it impossible for her to focus on practicing the guqin. She made a few mistakes.  

Master Zhang’s dissatisfaction with her was practically written all over his face.  

But was it really her fault?  

With the children making such noise, who wouldn’t be distracted?  

Then again, Master Zhang was thirty years old, while that man named Ling Yun looked to be in his early twenties at most. 

How could he be Master Zhang’s teacher?  

Master Zhang was the most renowned guqin master in the capital. 

No one knew where he had studied, only that years ago, on a painted boat, he had played ‘The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate” and captivated the entire capital.  

Since then, admirers had flocked to him like schools of fish, nearly wearing out his doorstep.  

Some came to listen to his music, others to study under him.  

Master Zhang did not take disciples easily. Including herself, he had no more than five disciples, and she was the only female among them.  

Who was the teacher of such an amazing guqin player?  

“His name is Ling Yun, but I’ve never heard of him……”  

Qin Yanran couldn’t figure it out.  

She went to Qin Jiang’s courtyard for her morning and evening greetings, a habit she had maintained for many years.  

At the entrance of the courtyard, she ran into an exasperated Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was obviously on his way to Qin Jiang’s courtyard, but not to pay respects; rather, he appeared to be there to complain.  

“A Yun.” 

Qin Yanran called out to him.  

Qin Yun grumbled and said, “Sis.”  

Qin Yanran asked, “You look upset. Did something happen?”  

Qin Yun complained, “You’re asking me? It’s all your fault for sending me to Imperial College!”  

Qin Yanran felt slightly embarrassed. “I… I’m sorry, I was too busy and forgot to pick you up.”  

But that wasn’t why Qin Yun was upset. 

He had long forgotten about Qin Yanran’s promise to pick him up.  

He was furious because his former friends had suddenly stopped flattering him, and then he saw that guy named Su Ergou actually in the class next to him!  

How infuriating!  

Qin Yanran said earnestly, “Father might be very busy these days. Don’t bother him with trivial matters.”  

Qin Yun snorted coldly, “How are my matters trivial? Is only your problem that important?”  

Qin Yanran frowned, “I didn’t say that.”  

“But that’s what you meant!”  

“A Yun!”  

Qin Yun didn’t want to listen to her and charged forward, only to be stopped by Xu Qing.  

“Master is resting. Please come back tomorrow, young master and young lady.”  

Qin Yun said sharply, “I want to see Father! Get out of my way!”
