On the surface, three days passed quietly. On the fourth day, the kitchen housekeeper, Lin Sheng's wife, noticed that for three consecutive meals, no one from the small courtyard came to fetch the food.
She asked the gatekeeper and learned that she had not seen Yue Baiyou and Xiang'er, the master and servant, leave, so she felt something was wrong and immediately reported to Susu.
Susu, although already aware of the situation, still feigned surprise and said, "Did you call at their door?"
Lin Sheng's wife, returning with the news, timidly said, "I called, but there was no response. I asked the gatekeeper and knew Miss Yue had not gone out, so I felt something was amiss and hurried to report to madam."
Susu comforted her, "It's not your fault, I had instructed the servants of the mansion not to interact with them."
