It was not until the third day, when the burial of Su Hui was finished in the afternoon, that Su Nian showed any unusual behavior. Her demeanor was so normal that it led people to believe that she had already accepted Su Hui's death. She ate as much as she usually did, and even occasionally chatted with Zheng Haoyu. If she was not with Zheng Haoyu, she was in Su Hui's study.
That night, as bedtime approached, Zheng Haoyu could not find Su Nian no matter how he searched.
After dinner, she had said she wanted to go to Su Hui's study to be alone for a bit. Zheng Haoyu didn't think much of it, knowing the deep bond between Su Nian and Su Hui, and believing she wouldn't do anything rash. He let her go. However, it was now past nine pm, and Su Nian was nowhere to be found in the study.
