After leaving the Matriarch's grand hall, Lu Jingye and Shi Meifen walked in tense silence until they arrived at their XiGuang courtyard.
XiGuang was located far away from the rest of the Lu mansion and with Shi Meifen's position being low in the household, they had a total of one female servant and one manservant, making the courtyard dead silent at all times.
The courtyard was also very run down but with Lu Wenduo's illness and Lu Jingye being hidden away, the only allowance that came into the courtyard was Shi Meifen's. How could a concubine's pitiful allowance be enough?
When they finally reached the entrance of Lu Jingye's room, the man in question turned to the side to face Shi Meifen. He couldn't see her expression clearly but the tense atmosphere did not go unnoticed. He awkwardly cleared his throat. "Don't overthink. It's just a week."
