Six Lang's hand paused in mid-air, and Hui Niang suddenly smiled, "I'll leave you two be." With that, she went out.
Six Lang had originally planned to come and see Xiao Wan, to have a few private words with her. Hui Niang's interruption and Xiao Wan's avoidance instantly drained him of any mood to do so.
He left without a word, stood in the courtyard for a moment, then turned and walked to the main house and said to Mrs. Chen, "Mother, I'm returning to the barracks now."
Mrs. Chen said in surprise, "You're leaving already?"
"You just got back last night, don't you still have two days off?"
Six Lang said nothing, turned to the front yard, led his horse, and left.
Mrs. Chen listened to the sound of hoofbeats fading away, feeling a bit uncomfortable. She somewhat understood it was probably because she didn't let Six Lang go to Xiao Wan's room last night, and Six Lang was unhappy about it.
