Second watch, asking for pink.

After Lian Manman and the others finished eating, Lady He called Aunt Ping and another slightly older maid over to clean up the dining table and dishes.
Manman originally wanted to chat more with Lady He, but she saw Aunt Ping secretly signaling Lady He with her eyes, and Lady He said she had something to do and followed Aunt Ping out.
Lian Manman sat on the kang bed and looked out the window.
Lady He followed Aunt Ping to the kitchen, while Old Master Lian was pacing in circles in the courtyard.
"The Old Master says living inside the Yamen involves many rules; even leaving this courtyard is not allowed at will. When he can't stay still inside the room, he can only walk around in the courtyard," Wu Lang said.
"The Old Master said that as well?" Manman said, "I didn't take it seriously when I heard Lady Zhang mention it just now. How come we can't even leave the courtyard freely after coming here?"
