"Serves you right, slut, dreaming of climbing into bed but getting kicked out instead..."
A chambermaid, who had been teasing her, laughed sarcastically from the outside.
Another maid, who was constantly desiring the position of the concubine, felt at ease seeing Chun Lan's dishonor. She added salt to the injury, saying "I think you, Sister Chun Lan should give up entertaining such futile thoughts. Master has been staying in Madam's room recently. He hardly has any energy left to comfort you!"
Chun Lan was unsuccessful in her intentions and was ridiculed by everyone, she felt humiliated and helpless, with no choice but to leave the scene gritting her teeth.
Having sent Chun Lan away, County Magistrate Shen took a moment to catch his breath before slowly settling back into his seat.
"Bring me a servant, go to the backyard and see if Madam has awakened from her nap. Remember to tread lightly, do not wake her if she still sleeps!"
