After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

"Miss, Miss..." Mother Liu's teeth kept chattering: "Did you hear that?"

Luo Miaoyun turned to look at her: "What?" She couldn't hear clearly in the howling wind and rain.

But Aunt Liu swallowed her words and said, "No, nothing."

Luo Miaoyun raised her hand to block the wind and complained, "First, she didn't allow us to move a step, and now she wants us to rush over in such a strong wind and rain! What on earth does the old lady want to do?"

Mother Liu woke up as if from a dream: "Miss, let's go back quickly!"

Luo Miaoyun looked at her in surprise: "Mom, what did you say? You came out in the wind and rain, how can you go back? Ying'er and Yao'er are still waiting for me!"

It would have been better if she didn't mention it. When she mentioned Shen Chengying and Shen Ruyao, Aunt Liu felt even more uneasy. She pulled Luo Miaoyun and whispered, "Miss, listen to mom, let's not go over there."

Trekking in the wind and rain, even with an oil umbrella in hand and a raincoat on, the hair, shoes and socks were still wet by the rain.

Luo Miaoyun was already irritable, and when she heard Liu Ma's nonsense, she couldn't help but interrupt her: "Mom! Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Meng Xi, who was walking in front and clearing the way, heard the noise behind him. He turned around with difficulty and shouted, "Madam, what's wrong? We'll be there in a little while."

Luo Miaoyun hurriedly said, "It's okay, just lead the way."

Matron Liu's lips trembled, but she didn't say anything.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the rain seemed to be out of control. It showed no sign of stopping, but instead seemed to be getting heavier.

Chuncao looked at the time and advised Ning'er, "Miss, you should get some sleep first. If anything happens, I will wake you up immediately."

Ning'er half-sat on the couch, propped up her head with her hands, and shook her head: "No, I can't sleep even if you ask me to lie down now. It's better to sit up."

Such heavy rain doesn't seem like something that would happen in spring.

She glanced out the window with some worry, and laughed at herself: "Besides, I have finally finished dressing up, wouldn't it be a waste if I just go to bed like this?"

Chuncao saw that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only take a soft pillow and tuck it under Ning'er's waist. She then held her hand and said angrily, "Why are your hands so cold? And you refuse to wear more clothes."

Ning'er suddenly jumped off the couch and walked out in her embroidered shoes. Chuncao asked in surprise, "What are you doing, young lady?"

Ning'er walked quickly: "Chuncao, didn't you hear? Hanguang is knocking on the door."

Knock, knock, knock—two light and one heavy.

She asked softly through the grille: "Han Guang?"

Han Guang whispered, "Miss Ning, someone is coming towards you. Judging from the footsteps, there is a woman and three men. I will hide for a while. Remember to ask who is coming before you take any action."

He reminded: "If anything happens, just call me, I'm nearby."

Han Guang's movements were extremely light. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Ning'er heard a deep male voice coming from outside the room: "Girl, the old lady asked us to take you to her room."

Ning Er stood sideways at the door alertly and asked loudly, "Who is coming?"

A soft female voice interrupted: "Miss Ning, it's me, I'm Agate."

Ning Er asked, "Sister Manju, the old lady told us to stay in our rooms and not to move around easily. What did she say before, and what does she say now?"

Manju smiled softly and said, "I followed orders and went to the old aunt's place. Now the situation has changed. The old lady is afraid that the thieves will commit crimes, so she ordered us to gather all the ladies, young ladies and young masters in Songshou Hall."

Ning'er felt relieved when she saw that what she said made sense and was consistent with what the girl had said before.

She said, "In that case, please wait for a moment, sister. Let me change my clothes and then I will follow you."

As she spoke, she walked to the north window and knocked three times on the window frame according to the method Han Guang taught her. But within five breaths, two light and one heavy knocks were heard from the other side of the grid.

Ning Er hurriedly said softly, "Han Guang, they are here. It's Agate from the old lady's room. She asked me to follow her up to the room."

Han Guang lowered his voice and said, "Girl, give me half an incense stick of time. I'll go to the old lady to take a look. Try to delay for a while."

Chuncao came in and asked, "Miss, Sister Manju is waiting outside the door. Do you want me to open the door?"

Ning Er shook her head and said, "Please be patient, we will wait a little longer." She asked the maid, "Am I dressed neatly?"

Chuncao took the comb and combed her temples, then looked at her carefully. Ning'er had already changed into all her clothes, so she said, "It's all right."

Ning Er ordered her, "Go and wait outside. If Manao asks you to, tell her that I'm combing my hair. Ask her to wait for another half a quarter of an hour at most."

She paced back and forth in the room, and just after walking around twice, she suddenly heard two very sharp cries of a night owl, penetrating through the layers of rain and haze and going straight into the depths of the courtyard.

Han Guang suddenly appeared, and his usually calm voice became a little hurried: "Master Ning!"

Ning'er quickly asked, "What happened?"

In the deep night, Han Guang's figure almost merged with the shadow of the eaves: "Miss, the old lady sent several people out to pick up the masters and ladies in the mansion. But..."

He shook his head outside the window: "Did you hear the night owl? That was the secret signal that Master and I agreed on!"

He said solemnly: "Master Ning, this means... Master Chu is just outside the mansion!"

Ning'er's heart suddenly started beating wildly, and her mind suddenly went blank: "What! On a day like this, the Marquis' Mansion is closed again, why would Master Chu come? How did he come!"

Ning Er couldn't help but said worriedly, "Nonsense! Why didn't your master stop him?"

Han Guang said, "Who can stop the master's decision? But what should we do now? Master Ning, please give us your instructions."

Just at this moment, Chuncao shouted loudly from outside: "Sister Manju, please wait a moment. The girl is getting her hair done and will be out soon."

Ning Er stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes fixed: "Han Guang, with your skills, is there any way to leave the house without anyone noticing?"

Han Guang hesitated for a moment and said, "If I'm alone, I should be able to protect myself from wind and rain."

"Okay." Ning'er nodded. "Then you should leave the house immediately to find Master Chu. After you meet up with him, explain the situation in the house to him and tell him that I am fine. Just tell him what I said and ask him to go home immediately. How can he come out in the middle of the night in such a rainy and windy weather?"

As she spoke, she reluctantly took something out of her bosom, wrapped it up in a handkerchief, and whispered to Han Guang, "Give this to Master Chu, and tell him that Ning'er asked him to keep it for you."

Then he gently pushed the window open a crack and said, "Put your hand out."

Han Guang subconsciously followed her instructions and stretched out his hand, only to see an extremely smooth and warm white jade Qilin pendant gently placed in his palm.

Ning Er said earnestly, "This is the voucher, pack it up and don't lose it."

Han Guang knew the pros and cons, but he couldn't let go of Ning'er. He hesitated and said, "Miss, I can't leave you at this time."

Ning Er interrupted him: "Since you call me master, you must obey my orders. Do as I say!"

Chuncao urged again, but Ning'er simply closed the window and said outside, "I'm coming."
