Outside, the snow fell heavier and heavier, creating an eerie silence.
With Mrs. Qin on his back, Little Bu easily leaped onto the highest rooftop, looking down at the swarming crowd below—and at Qin Nuo.
Almost instantly, Qin Nuo looked up sharply, her eyes locking onto Little Bu and Mrs. Qin on the rooftop.
Seeing that he had actually dared to bring her out, Qin Nuo's expression faltered, and a flicker of guilt crossed her eyes.
She had only been able to imprison Mrs. Qin by taking her by surprise. Taking advantage of a moment when they were alone, she had drugged her mother's tea and locked her away in the secret chamber.
To the outside world, she had only said that Mrs. Qin had left again on secret business.
Mr. Qin, who was already quite unhappy with Mrs. Qin for keeping secrets from him, hadn't paid any attention to her departure.
