"Mm..." This path wasn't right, they had to change direction. Then, turning sideways, taking another step, they continued walking.

"Master, that's the direction out of the mansion."

"Oh." Qu Tan'er nodded, then turned again, regardless of which direction. After a few more steps, seeing Jing Xin not correcting her anymore, she realized that this time, she seemed to have turned in the right direction.

Walking too slowly and not looking at the path, she didn't expect a maid to suddenly emerge from the exit of a courtyard ahead.

By the time Qu Tan'er realized it, they had already collided. Because the collision was so hard, they both fell backward.

Jing Xin, following behind Qu Tan'er, caught her in time as she fell back, but the maid wasn't so lucky.
