However, she noticed that Lian Qiao was looking at her with a strange expression while she was eating dinner . Although she had a smiling expression, there was also a probing look mixed in with it .
When Lian Qiao realised that Su Xi-er had spotted her, she immediately stowed her intentions away and smiled . "Su Xi-er, why don't I scrub the chamber pots together with you tonight?"
"There's no need for that with how few chamber pots there are these days . I don't have to work too hard . " Su Xi-er flatly refused her . She then placed her bowl and chopsticks down before walking out of the dining hall and heading towards the southwest direction .

Lian Qiao was lost in her thoughts as she watched Su Xi-er's departing figure . Only after the thin palace maid patted her shoulder did she come out of her trance .
The thin palace maid lowered her head and spoke softly into Lian Qiao's ear . "I see you that you're having a tough time hugging her thigh, so I'm going to give you an idea . If you want to scrub the chamber pots, just secretly follow her . What's the point in talking to her so much?" The thin palace maid then got up and left .
Lian Qiao lowered her head and looked at the s . h . i . +ning white rice grains in her bowl . After gazing at them for a while, an idea had already formed in her heart .

After arriving at the wooden cabin at the southwest side, Su Xi-er counted the chamber pots as she moved them . Hm? How come there are only ten? What on earth is going on? Are those masters not p . o . o . ping and peeing recently?
Su Xi-er began to feel nauseous from her own thoughts . It's a good thing that the numbers are few .
Placing ten chamber pots on the wooden board, she dragged them to the side of the well and pulled up a few buckets of water to pour into them . She followed up by mixing the Chinese honey locust water into the pots so that the overbearing stench soon became mild .

Picking up the brush and wetting it with Chinese honey locust water, Su Xi-er began to scrub the chamber pots .
Ten chamber pots will only take two hours at most, leaving me plenty of time to sneak into the Laundry Service Bureau .
Su Xi-er engrossed herself in scrubbing the chamber pots and finished even sooner than expected . Collecting well water again to give them a final rinse, she hauled them back to the wooden cabin at the southwest side .
Once everything was settled, she prepared to walk towards the direction of the Laundry Service Bureau .
However, she had only taken a few steps before she heard some faint sounds behind her .
Someone is tailing me . Biding her time, Su Xi-er turned back towards the well and pulled up another bucket of water, using it to slowly wash her arms as she waited for the person in hiding to reveal themselves . The calmer she appeared, the more anxious her visitor would be .
