"Chief, do we really have to learn?" Chang Huan tugged at Su Jiu's sleeves in a coquettish manner.
"Do you think I want to learn?" Su Jiu sat on a chair, with her legs crossed. "But we have to deal with it today!"
"What about after that? What if this Second Mistress has nothing to do, and always comes over and hangs out? What shall we do?"
Su Jiu gnawed at her fingernails, her gaze flickering. "That's true. If we keep getting visitors from the Ji Manor, do we always have to talk like women?"
It'll be alright if we learn well, she thought. But if we can't and we let the cat out of the bag, we'll be in big trouble!
After nibbling at her fingernails, Su Jiu had an idea. "Why don't I pretend to be sick?"
"Pretend to be sick?" Chang Huan gasped in surprise, smiling and said, "That's a good way out!"
