Why hasn't Mu Lianjue made any move yet to get rid of those two scourges?
Right now, she was in a precarious position, where there was none whom she could trust. Even that man came across as dubious and suspicious, and she could not trust him totally.
Just as she was anxiously deliberating her next move, there was a loud knocking on the door. The sudden and unexpected noise jolted her out of her reverie.
The servant pushed the door open and was startled to see her looking as pale as a ghost. "Young mistress?"
"Are you trying to scare me to my death bed?!" she rebuked, looking fierce and cold.
Taken aback by her strong reaction, the servant retracted her shoulders fearfully and dared not utter a word.
She had knocked on the door before she entered to clean the place. Reckoning that no one was inside, she went in.
"Get lost!"
"Yes…"
The frightened servant dared not to tarry and hurriedly retreated.
