She even said she definitely hadn't seen any small porcelain bottle.
Zhong Lingling could tell the young maid wasn't lying; not only did she not blame her, but she even comforted her.
"Alright, everyone's tired. We can clean up the garden tomorrow! Everyone, go and rest!" Xiang Yimo intended to send the crowd away.
He planned to accompany Zhong Lingling in a thorough search of every corner of the garden.
He feared that with too many people around, it would be terrible if someone with ill intentions found it and failed to turn it in.
With Xiang Yimo's orders given, naturally, no one dared to say anything.
The person in charge of the grounds told everyone, "We will come back to the garden at five o'clock tomorrow morning to clean, and we must restore the garden to its former state before daylight!"
All the people withdrew from the scene.
In the quiet garden, only the couple, Xiang Yimo and Zhong Lingling, remained.
