"Sister, there's no need to be in such a hurry! Once you go back, don't come back again!" Shen Li watched as the smile on Shen Miao's face gradually froze. Suddenly, she said this, feeling a sense of revenge seeing Shen Miao's expression.
"Sister, what did you mean just now? Is it true that in the Night Ghost Division, one can only leave but not enter?" Shen Miao's face turned completely ugly because of this new blow.
"Sister, this is not aimed at you. It's just a rule of the Night Ghost Division for hundreds of years. If you leave today, you won't be allowed to step into the Night Ghost Division ever again."
"When this rule was set, it was to prevent those with ulterior motives from sneaking into the Night Ghost Division and taking away any important information. So it's stipulated that the same person is not allowed to enter and leave on the same day. Especially if one leaves the Night Ghost Division, they are absolutely not allowed to come back in."
After Shen Li finished speaking, Shen Miao was stunned for a moment. "Sister, rules are made by people. Besides, it's said that rules are dead but people are alive. Can't this rule be flexible?"
"Although it's true that rules are made by people, this one was set by the founding emperor of our Dongling Kingdom, the Taizu. If sister wants to change this rule, you might as well go and plead with His Majesty!"
The smile on Shen Miao's face completely disappeared this time. She took back the foot that had already stepped onto the carriage. "How could I have so much influence to ask the current emperor to change the rule? Since that's the case, I won't leave! But at least someone can send my change - of - clothes and daily necessities here, right?"
This time, Shen Li didn't use any more strange rules of the Night Ghost Division to suppress Shen Miao. "That's okay!"
Hearing this, Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Shen Zhen and said, "I won't go back today! Go back and tell my mother that I'll stay here with sister for a few days. Ask mother to send some of my clothes here."
Shen Zhen quickly nodded in agreement.
Before Shen Miao could say anything else, Shen Li stepped in first. "When they come, just let the servant give the things to the little boy at the door. Sister, you don't need to go there in person and make an extra trip."
"After all, there are many dangerous places in the Night Ghost Division. You're new here. If you take the wrong way and go to a place you shouldn't, even if I want to save you, it might be too late!"
Shen Miao bit her lips lightly and said reluctantly, "Thank you for the reminder, sister!"
So Shen Zhen was sent away, and Shen Miao followed Shen Li to see the room prepared for her.
"Sister, you can stay here for these few days!" Shen Li opened a door and said to Shen Miao, "I asked Jiaoyue to simply clean it this afternoon. Sister, you can make do with it for now."
"My room is right next to yours. If you have anything, you can come to me." Then Shen Li covered her mouth and yawned, looking sleepy. "Well, I'll go take a nap first. Sister, feel free."
After saying that, Shen Li left without looking back, taking Jiaoyue with her. Shen Miao was left facing the somewhat empty room, not knowing what to do.
Shen Miao entered the room. Comparing it with her boudoir in the Shen Mansion, this room was far inferior. But there was no other way. She could only sit in front of the table, thinking about how to get more useful information as soon as possible so that she could leave here earlier.
Shen Miao originally planned to ask Shen Li to show her around the Night Ghost Division this afternoon so that she could learn about the layout inside. But Shen Li used taking a nap as an excuse. After going back to her room, she didn't come out for the whole afternoon.
Shen Miao wanted to knock on the door several times, but was always stopped by that fierce Jiaoyue.
Helpless, she could only walk around the small courtyard where Shen Li lived twice by herself. But on the way back, she almost got lost. It took her a while to find her way back.
When Shen Miao returned to her room, it was already getting dark. She wanted to ask the maid to light the lamp, but then she remembered that this was not the Shen Mansion and she didn't bring any of her maids with her.
She could only helplessly take out the fire starter and light the lamp herself. Shen Miao was waiting for someone to call her for dinner. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than half an hour, no one came. She went out and looked around, and finally managed to see Jiaoyue.
"Jiaoyue, why haven't they served dinner yet?"
Jiaoyue, who was hanging out the clothes, didn't stop her hand. She looked back at Shen Miao and then turned her head away, not looking at her anymore. "Today, our young lady said she wasn't hungry, so she cancelled dinner. If Second Young Lady is hungry, I remember there are still two steamed buns left in the kitchen pot. Second Young Lady can take them to fill your stomach first."
Shen Miao's face turned from red to green. It was extremely ugly. "Humph! I didn't expect that sister would have such a maid who doesn't know the rules. She even dares to let me eat the leftovers that only rough servants eat."
"Second Young Lady, this is not the Shen Mansion. The Night Ghost Division doesn't have so many stupid rules from the outside world. But it's also stipulated that everyone should do things by themselves. If Second Young Lady wants to eat, just go to the kitchen and cook by yourself. No one will stop you!"
Jiaoyue was hanging out the clothes with her back to Shen Miao. Relying on the fact that Shen Miao couldn't see her, she rolled her eyes disdainfully.
"You little bitch! How dare you talk to me like this! I'll teach you a lesson!" As Shen Miao said this, she took two quick steps forward and even raised her hand high.
Naturally, Jiaoyue wasn't going to let herself suffer. When she saw Shen Miao coming angrily, she dodged two steps to the side, picked up the empty basin on the ground that had no clothes in it, and walked away.
Shen Miao was so angry that she almost stamped her feet. Jiaoyue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Shen Miao behind, "Oh, I almost forgot to remind Second Young Lady. It's getting dark. It's better not to go out anymore. If something happens, no one can save you!"
"What do you mean?"
After Jiaoyue said this, she left without any intention of answering Shen Miao's question.
Shen Miao was full of questions but no one could answer them. Looking at the really late sky, she went back to her room.
In the middle of the night, Shen Miao, who was sleeping groggily, unconsciously licked her lips. She felt extremely thirsty and was woken up.
Looking at the pitch - black night outside the room, Shen Miao didn't really want to go out at first. But she was really thirsty. She couldn't do without water.
After struggling in her heart for a while, she still got up, put on a coat, found a lantern and carried it in her hand, then left the room.
Different from the Shen Mansion, where lanterns were hung in the yard for lighting even at night, the Night Ghost Division was completely dark. Not a single lantern was lit for lighting. There was nothing.
