It was getting late. Muniang glanced at the clock and figured that Yu Ze should probably be about to return, so she went to the kitchen early and prepared the meal. She kept it warm in the pot, waiting for him to come back and eat.
Who would have guessed that just as she entered the room, a commotion erupted outside.
Muniang called out for Qingya, and only then did she come in.
"What's happening outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Qingya quickly replied, "It's that girl Kelan, making a fuss and insisting on seeing the Lady. I tried to stop her but couldn't, and now she's causing a scene at the entrance."
Muniang raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What does she want?"
"I don't know, but that girl is nothing but a seductive bitch sent by the Marquise; she's probably timed it just as the Prince Heir is due to return, lying in wait like a hunter. Shall I just drive her away?"
But then they heard Kelan shouting from outside, "I have important matters to report to the Lady, please, I must see you!"
