The story unfolds in two places at once. Meanwhile, back at the Red Star Courtyard, the Deaf Old Lady was beginning to make her move.
The morning sun filtered through the windows, bathing the room in light. Once First Aunt had helped her finish breakfast, the Deaf Old Lady asked her to assist her out the door, intending to hire a pedicab to go find someone.
Xu Fei was the one assigned to stay behind at the Red Star Courtyard today to keep a secret watch on the Deaf Old Lady. He had arrived at Xu Hua’s place early that morning to stand guard quietly. When he saw the Deaf Old Lady and First Aunt slowly making their way out of the courtyard, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself. How could he prevent the Deaf Old Lady from going out to find this person without exposing his own identity?
