The young master Wang walked in, and my mind went blank. I watched him getting closer to me.

"How should I deal with you?" The young master Wang approached step by step, "Miss Liu San."

I felt my mind in chaos, opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The young master Wang walked a few steps and stood in front of me, a few steps away, looking at me coldly.

The moonlight was blocked, casting shadows on me.

He had a shadow, he wasn't a ghost.

That was my only thought at the moment.

I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly I came back to my senses, my scalp tingling, and cold sweat breaking out.

If he was human, then who was the nameplate for?

I clenched my teeth and started to realize that I might have stumbled upon some forbidden secret of the Wang family.

If the young master Wang was really a ghost, I might still have a way out, but now...

I forced myself to remain calm, raised my head, and looked at him without saying a word.

"Miss Liu San, appearing in my Wang residence's forbidden area in the middle of the night, shouldn't you give an explanation?" The young master Wang's tone remained unchanged.

Something seemed to flash through my mind, middle of the night, forbidden area...

That servant!

I widened my eyes suddenly, I fell into his trap.

I regretted it deep down, but I forced myself to stay calm.

"Wasn't it the young master Wang who invited me?" I heard myself saying.

I was gambling, gambling that he deliberately set me up.

"Miss Liu San, what do you mean by that? Did this young master ask you to trespass on someone's forbidden area?" The young master Wang's voice remained the same.

Was I wrong? My heart went cold.

No, it couldn't be, the timing and the place were too coincidental.

I pretended to smirk, "Young master Wang, there's no need for hidden messages between us. At this point, why bother playing dumb with me?"

The young master Wang didn't speak—I guessed correctly.

I continued, "You know my purpose. I just want my second sister to be safe. You deliberately led me here to discover the secrets of the mansion, just to make a deal with me, right?"

The young master Wang didn't speak, remaining silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling, "It's easy to talk to smart people."

Only then did I relax my tense body...

I followed behind the young master Wang and left the temple.

The moonlight was perfect tonight, stretching his shadow thin and casting it on the ground at my feet. I couldn't help but raise my head and examine the figure in front of me.

Unlike the brawny men favored by the men of Daming nowadays, although the young master Wang was tall, he was slender in stature. Under the moonlight, dressed in white, he appeared even thinner.

I heard that he had suffered from a serious illness in his childhood, leaving behind a lingering ailment that required regular medication.

Could there be some hidden story behind it? I speculated in my heart, thinking of the words on that nameplate.

When we returned to my second sister's courtyard, she was still asleep. I looked at the hourglass and realized there was still over an hour until my second sister woke up to chant scriptures.

I carefully lay on the bed, gazing at my second sister's peaceful sleeping face illuminated by the moonlight coming through the window paper. However, my mind was filled with the voice of the young master Wang.

"I can guarantee the safety of your second sister, but you need to do something for me."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Five days from now, follow my father, see where he goes and what he does."

"Why?"

"You don't need to know the reason. Your second sister doesn't have much time left. When the time comes, I won't be able to protect her. It's up to you whether you choose or not."

The young master Wang didn't wait for my answer and left with a wave of his sleeve.

But deep down, we both knew that I would agree because I had no choice.

Five days later...

I closedthe book and took a deep breath. The story had gripped me from the beginning, and I couldn't help but feel connected to the protagonist, Miss Liu San. Her journey was filled with mystery, secrets, and a desperate need to protect her loved ones.

As I sat there, contemplating the events in the story, I couldn't help but wonder about the young master Wang and his motives. What secrets did the Wang family hold? Why was Miss Liu San chosen for this task?

The author had created a captivating world, rich with intricate characters and a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The storytelling was superb, weaving together suspense, romance, and the supernatural.

I eagerly awaited the sequel, hoping to uncover the answers to the questions that lingered in my mind. What would happen to Miss Liu San and her second sister? Would she be able to fulfill her mission and protect her loved ones?

The book had transported me to a different time and place, immersing me in the world of ancient China. It reminded me of the power of storytelling and how it can capture our imagination, making us feel a range of emotions.

As I closed the book, I couldn't help but appreciate the author's ability to create such a vivid and engaging tale. It was a reminder of the magic that lies within the pages of a well-written book, and I was grateful to have experienced it.
