"Still early, let's finish grinding the ink." Qu Tan'er went against her usual behavior, seemingly not in a hurry this time.
She really wanted to focus on grinding the ink for Mo Liancheng , or maybe she intended to test Mo Jingxuan's patience. A person becomes impatient when idle, and finding someone is never a precise affair. Occasionally, her bored gaze would still sweep over the desktop where the ink painting was taking shape. The more she looked, the more familiar the scenery in the painting seemed, as if she had seen it somewhere. Wait a moment... darn it, did Mo Liancheng draw theher Snow Courtyard again?
Does he really like the Snow Courtyard that much?!
Not long after, she noticed that Mo Jingxuan was getting impatient.
Only then did Qu Tan'er leisurely step out of the study.
After about a quarter of an hour.
The hidden remained hidden, and the seeker was not idle. As for the gentleman painting inside, he continued to draw casually. However, in the original landscape painting, an enchanting woman had been added, standing gracefully, her delicate face looking up at the high courtyard wall... Isn't it Qu Tan'er?
"Go find her, I don't want to waste time," Mo Liancheng calmly raised his eyes, looking at Yu Hao by his side, and spoke.
Yu Hao nodded and replied, "Yes," then left.
The weather was fine, but the Snow Courtyard seemed unusually quiet.
In the courtyard, Jing Xin still sat quietly on a stone bench, her hand lightly supporting her chin. Occasionally, she would lift her eyes to glance at Mo Jingxuan, who was wandering around restlessly, then lower her eyelashes again, continuing her silence.
"Jing Xin, be kind and give me a hint. Is my eighth sister-in-law hiding here in the Snow Courtyard?" Mo Jingxuan's handsome face looked extremely helpless. Even though he knew Jing Xin wouldn't answer him, he couldn't help but ask the same question again, which had been asked dozens of times.
"I don't know." Jing Xin shook her head, answering the question for the nth time.
"How long has it been now?" Mo Jingxuan asked.
"It's still early, just past half an hour," Jing Xin replied.
"In that case, I'll go to the Frost Courtyard to look for her."
"Fourteenth prince, take care." Jing Xin waved her hand, glanced at the now distant Mo Jingxuan, and then continued to sit quietly. Her gaze didn't wander, nor did she pay much attention to the figure flying over the roof.
"Master." Yu Hao returned to the study, bowing his head slightly, not daring to meet Mo Liancheng's eyes directly.
"What is it?" Mo Liancheng frowned and asked.
"Subordinate can't find where the princess is hiding."
"Oh?" Unexpected.
"Subordinate has searched every corner of the mansion. The princess seems to have disappeared like a person from the immortal world, making it impossible to find her."
"Hmm, it seems I underestimated her, relying on Fourteen's abilities, yet unable to find her twice. It seems I have really underestimated her." Mo Liancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling casually.
"Subordinate will go and search again."
"No need, let her be. Since she wants to leave the mansion, let her go." Mo Liancheng finished speaking, and the painting on the desk was already complete. Looking at the portrait on the table, a faint, elusive smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and the softness that flashed in his eyes was very rare.
Following the order, Yu Hao retreated to the side without saying much.
As for Mo Jingxuan, who was unwilling to lose even at the cost of his life, he had already exhausted himself and lay motionless on the rocking chair in Qu Tan'er's room. Regardless of the passing time, he had no intention of getting up and wandering around.
"Isn't Fourteenth Prince going out to find her?" Jing Xin, who hadn't seen him come out since he entered the room, was somewhat puzzled and followed in to see what was going on.
"Where is my Eighth Sister-in-law?"
