He would naturally share the same opinion as Ye Liu and wouldn't be willing to have him go with them.

"Mo, can you not shout? If you are going to speak then speak properly. Don't scare our youngest brother." Ye Liu gave Ye Mo a slight lecture.

After he finished speaking, he immediately said to Ye Ling, "Ling, Mo and I will be back in a while so you don't need to follow us. Be a good kid and quickly go upstairs and rest."

He then went out the door with Ye Mo while carrying oil lamps.

Ye Ling had initially wanted to secretly follow them but he had to give up when he heard the yard door getting locked. He had no choice but to turn around and go back upstairs.

In town, Dongfang Ming spaced out while he looked at the painting of Liu Duo.

"Master, are you still not going to rest?" Ming Yan said to him.

He didn't understand why Dongfang Ming would be lost in thought while looking at paintings of Liu Duo and Ye Ling.

Wasn't it just two paintings? What was there to look at?

When Dongfang Ming heard him, he rolled up the painting of Ye Ling and Liu Duo. "Ming Yan, you go and rest."

"Okay, master, you should also go and rest early."

After he finished speaking, Ming Yan left the room. However, when he was turning around, he saw Little Tian.

He frowned and walked towards Little Tian. "What are you doing here?'

Why would she appear here at this hour?

Little Tian saw Ming Yan walking over and got ready to leave. However, he blocked her way.

.

"None of your business. Get out of my way!" Little Tian hid her gaze but she pretended to be calm and rolled her eyes at him.

Wang Xiangyun asked her to secretly pay attention to each of Dongfang Ming's actions from today onwards, especially during the night time when he rests.

When Ming Yan heard her, not only did he not get out of her way, he stepped forward closer to her. He lowered his head and then looked to the side to look towards Dongfang Ming's direction again. He then looked back at her.

"Why are you peeping over here? What trick is your lady trying to pull now?!"

Being so close with Ming Yan made Little Tian's egg-shaped face blush against her wishes.

She took one step back and replied unhappily, "Ming Yan, be careful of what you say. Don't slander my lady! What do you mean by trick? You are the one that is playing a trick. Get out of my way!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and wanted to push him.

Just as she lifted her hand, Ming Yan took a few steps back and created a suitable distance between them.

"I don't care what you do at this hour, but you'd better advise your lady not to do anything shameless!" Ming Yan said, giving her a direct warning.

After he finished speaking, he squinted his eyes at her before turning around and going back to his room.

He had no positive feelings at all towards Wang Xiangyun and her servant. His master had no feelings towards her but she still shamelessly stuck to him and wouldn't let go!

It was no matter if Wang Xiangyun and Little Tian were really trying to pull some tricks; he would not let them succeed!

Little Tian heard what he said and her face and ears were bursting red. She wished she could just tear him up.

She raised her fist at his back and then let it down weakly.

Although she was furious at what Ming Yan said, she couldn't deny it.

"Sigh… my lady, why are you so persistent? There are so many noble young men around, why do you insist on only having Dongfang Ming?"

It was only after the light in the room went out that Little Tian turned around and went back to her room to rest.

…

Time passed by very quickly and within the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the night had passed by.

Liu Duo was sleeping soundly but for some reason, she was woken up by the heat. "It's so hot."

She felt like she was inside a hot cage and the heat woke her up.

During this season, although it was very hot in the day, the night was still quite cool. If one covered themselves with a blanket, they wouldn't feel hot and their bellies wouldn't feel cold.
