Shang Ruyi handed the hairpin to Tushere without a change in expression, and said, "Then take it back to her. It just fell outside the house."
Tushere hurriedly took it and put it away, saying, "Yes."
Afterwards, the two of them washed up and went to bed.
However, burdened with exhaustion, as they lay on the bed, sleep eluded them for a long time. Even when the third watch drum was struck outside, Shang Ruyi could still hear the clear and awake breathing of the person next to her.
She softly said, "You're still not asleep."
Yu Wenye slowly turned his head, gazing at her bright eyes under the dim light, "Why aren't you asleep either?"
Shang Ruyi softly said, "Do you think our plan this time will really work?"
Yu Wenye fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Are you worried because of that hairpin?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and nodded silently.
She understood very well that Yu Wenqian picking up that hairpin was the first misstep in their game.
