"Madam, the room has gotten cold, should I go close the window?" Su Mei asked softly.
Ye Muyu looked up, "No need, you all can rest outside in the side room too. I will read for a while. Tell the kitchen to prepare some hot water, as the lord will probably need it when he returns later."
"Yes." Su Mei and Chun Xing withdrew.
Chu Heng only came back in the latter half of the night.
He carried an aura of blood about him, and even after washing, when he entered the inner house, his presence was still detected by Su Mei and a few maidservants. Their faces slightly changed, and they dared not lift their heads to look at him.
"My lord, the lady instructed the kitchen to keep the hot water ready, saying that after a whole day of work, a bath would relieve fatigue," Su Mei reported.
