"Chi-Chi, wake up." Mama Chi went from soft knocking to hard pounding on her door.
Ever since she returned home last night victorious but drained, she had gone straight to bed and had not woken up since. It was coming to noon and still, she was wrapped up tight in her warm blanket like a dumpling.
Mama Chi was adamant to wake her daughter up however a couple of military vehicles had showed up in front of their house. As if the exiting soldiers were not scary enough, the state minister for security had come along with them.
It was the first time in her life to meet an official of the empire up close. All the etiquette that had been instilled in her in those expensive etiquette classes wealthy madams took went flying out of the window. She stammered when greeting the minister and broke a few cups while serving him coffee.
At this moment, all she wanted was for Chi Lian to wrap up her business with the scary man so that her heart could calm down.
