That night, Ren Si waited anxiously until Shen Ningning returned. She rushed to Shen Ningning's room and told her everything she had overheard outside Mrs. Ren's door earlier that day.
"You have to leave now, before the people they're looking for arrive." As she spoke, Ren Si placed a travel pack on the table.
She said, "There's some of my saved allowance in here. I was originally going to use it to escape an arranged marriage, but you need it more urgently now. Please, take it. It's not much, only about 200 taels of silver, but it should be enough for you to flee south. Once you're there, my father won't be able to catch you."
After Ren Si finished her hurried speech, she looked at Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei. One was sitting calmly at the table sipping water, a tranquil expression on his face, while the other simply blinked her bright, beautiful eyes at her.
Neither of them said a word. It was a classic case of the eunuchs panicking while the Emperor remained calm!
