After the door closed, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai left. The maidservants and old women also filed out. The noisy courtyard quietened down. Yu Wan climbed over the courtyard wall and walked towards Bai Tang's room.
This time, the door was not locked from the outside, but Yu Wan could not push it open.
Had the latch been inserted?
Yu Wan gently knocked on the door. There was no reaction from the room. She did not dare to make too much noise, afraid that she would alarm Mrs. Bai and the others who had not gone far.
Yu Wan went around the corridor and walked to the windowsill of the room. She reached out and pulled open the window.
Bai Tang was sitting in front of the dressing table, holding a pair of scissors in one hand and her long hair in the other. The scissors had already been opened, and with just a click, the black hair was gone.
"What are you doing?" Yu Wan supported herself with one hand and jumped into the room.
