Shannanxi, In the governor's manor.
"Young mistress, Young mistress," the maid called out, seeing her young mistress in a daze, with her elbow on the table and her hand supporting her jaw but the young mistress still didn't come to her senses even with the loud call from her maid, so the maid had no choice but to tap her shoulder.
"Young mistress!" she called again, this time louder than before.
"What is it?" she queried just after coming back to her senses.
"Young mistress, is there anything wrong, you have been in a daze for a while now and you didn't even answer me when I called your name?" she inquired with concern written on her face, Ruo Rufei smiled in pretence, she didn't want the maid to know who she had been thinking about.
"It is nothing, by the way, why did you call me?" she just needed to change the topic.
