For seven days, Prime Minister Sun didn't catch a glimpse of Sun Qiaoyan. If it weren't for the maids who clean the room telling him she returns home to sleep every night, he would have thought she had run away from the Capital again.
Sun Qiaoyan left early each morning before dawn and returned late at night. Prime Minister Sun waited for seven days without her seeking him out. Finally, he couldn't sit idle any longer and stationed himself in her room to catch her.
Sun Qiaoyan walked lightly back into the courtyard, saw a lamp lit in the room, and a shadow through the window — it was her father. She almost turned around, not wanting to enter the room at all.
Just as she was about to turn, a mansion guard appeared and respectfully cupped his hands, "Fourth Miss, the Prime Minister has waited for you for an hour. Please go in quickly!"
In other words, don't leave. If you do, the guards of the entire mansion will have to stop you.
