The bridesmaids made their way through the corridor, and immediately after leaving Perched Phoenix Pavilion, they saw Chief Housekeeper Yu, who happened to be passing through the back courtyard.
"Chief Housekeeper!" The bridesmaids respectfully greeted him.
"Bridesmaids, why are you here instead of keeping the bride company in the bridal chamber?"
"Ah, well," the bridesmaids chuckled, and one replied, "the bride said she doesn't need our services anymore, so we're leaving a bit early."
"Yes, we're just leaving a bit early!" the other bridesmaids spoke in unison.
Chief Housekeeper Yu glanced into the courtyard and nodded his head. "Very well. I'll send for somebody to escort you all back. Fetch your reward money from the front courtyard."
"Alright!"
"Thank you, Chief Housekeeper!"
The bridesmaids were thrilled to find out they would be paid even though they hadn't kept the bride company. They happily headed towards the front yard.
