But in all honesty, why did he get the feeling that his own master was becoming increasingly petty...
Ning Feng thought to himself, revealing nothing externally. After making the bed for Chu Jinnian, and helping him into bed, he lowered the bed curtains, extinguishing the candle on the desk and leaving only the one in the corner alight before exiting and closing the door.
Once Ning Feng was out of sight, Chu Jinnian got up and retrieved the jade Bi from a box on the side, clasping it in his hand. After a moment of deep thought, he finally placed the jade Bi beside his pillow.

The following day, dawn broke.
"Good morning, Mr. Fan," Banqing greeted, busily setting the breakfast table in the Flower Hall when she saw Fan Wenxuan. She hurriedly stood up to greet him properly.
"Good morning," Fan Wenxuan responded, yawning broadly, rubbing his tired eyes.
He had barely slept the previous night, tossing and turning.
Out of fury, shame, and worry.
