Linlu Academy's southeast corner.
A serene courtyard.
The door of the study room, bearing the plaque "Elegant Orchid," was opened from outside.
"Jing Zi, Jing Zi…"
A woman in a Confucian robe looked around the room.
It was utterly empty.
Having just returned from class, Zhu Weirui spoke in a low whisper, "This girl, why hasn't she come back yet."
She grasped the hem of her wide Confucian robe, stepped into the room, placed the scroll in her hand on the desk, prepared to turn around and go behind the screen to change clothes as usual.
But her gaze suddenly caught sight of the small desk on the other side of the study, specifically prepared for her personal attendant student, where books were in disarray and bookshelves haphazardly arranged.
"How many times have I said this, still so clumsy."
Zhu Weirui shook her head, walked gracefully to the small desk, and rolled up the broad sleeves to tidy up the messy desk.
