Anning returned to her room when the sky had already darkened; after playing and frolicking with a few maidservants for a while, she went to bed.
When the room was left with no one else except for Moli, who was on night duty by the couch, Anning got up. She pressed Moli's acupoint to induce sleep, then changed into a set of light clothing and slipped out the door.
So far, Anning had a limited understanding of the affairs of the Ji Family.
What Mr. Ji was doing, how close his ties were with the Crown Prince, his reputation among officials, etc., Anning knew nothing.
She thought of first getting a grasp of the Ji Family's affairs before making further plans.
Anning took advantage of the deep quiet of the night to head towards Mr. Ji's study.
She planned to look through Mr. Ji's correspondences, as well as some matters related to the government office.
