The courtyard, long unvisited, was surprisingly bright and immaculate, not at all like a house that had been uninhabited for an extended period. Clearly, someone often came to tidy up.
Jiang Wang stepped into the courtyard and nodded in approval.
"Let's talk in the living room," he suggested.
Dugu Xiao hurried into the room ahead of him, swiftly setting out tea and arranging the cups with practiced ease.
In reality, it was she who personally cleaned the courtyard, making sure to sweep and tidy it every three days, regardless of how busy she was with duties for the town.
But she wouldn't boast about this in front of Jiang Wang.
She always considered herself Jiang Wang's maid. Even though she had become transcendent and was entrusted with the administration of Qingyang Town, making her a prominent figure within Jia City.
A maid cleaning rooms for her master was simply the natural order of things.
