At noon, Shen Tianyu woke up and cleaned herself up. She then went to the back mountains again to cultivate. And again, as evening came, she went back to Lavender Palace to work. (1)
And so, she lived like this for a week or so. Chatting with customers and accompanying Rong Jian whenever he came. Free to do as she wished, free to rest whenever she wanted.
...
A short while later, however, trouble arose for her again.
"Shen Tianyu! Get out here! You ungrateful thing!" A woman yelled at the wooden gates of Lavender Palace. She was wearing a white robe with lotuses stitched on the hem. On top of it was a pale yellow coat with plum blossoms stitched on. Behind her was a couple of a man and woman wearing servants robes with the Shen family's crest. The woman who yelled had her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face. She made such a big ruckus, employees of Lavender Palace were looking at the gate with disdain in addition to the crowd of commoners shaking their heads at her.
