When Xiao Yue arrived at her manor, First Madam was busy sorting out herbs and roots at a counter to turn into a medicinal soup to nourish Second Madam's body. She looked haggard and extremely tired. Xiao Yue could tell that she had not slept well for quite some nights already.
"First Madam," Xiao Yue greeted, bending her knees slightly.
"Ah, you are here."
First Madam put down the herbs and washed her hands in a basin before wiping them dry with some clothes.
"Let's talk in the dining room. Have you had your lunch?"
Eh. To think that she was invited to have some lunch together with the First Madam? Xiao Yue shook her head.
"Good."
First Madam clapped and a maid quickly went back to the kitchen. They did not wait for long before a group of maids entered the dining room carrying steaming hot dishes on wooden trays.
