""Don't see him, just keep feeding him as usual. If the Zhu family comes for him, let him go." Lin Jiaojiao casually waved her hand towards Xuemei, signaling for her to withdraw."
Xuemei hesitated, pursing her lips before deciding to speak, "Madam, there's something else…"
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Luo, who was nearby.
Understanding Xuemei's intent, Chen Luo promptly stood up and said to Lin Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I'll retire to my room now."
Jiaojiao had prepared a room for her in the Sunny Snow Pavilion.
Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly, "Mmm, go ahead."
Once Chen Luo left, Xuemei, hesitant as ever, looked at Lin Jiaojiao, not sure how to broach the subject…
Talking about it could distress her mistress, but not bringing it up might seem like she, a servant, didn't care enough.
Lin Jiaojiao slightly knitted her brows, looking at Xuemei as she asked, "What happened? Why do you seem so troubled?"
