By the hour of You, An Jing finally approached Linghe and Li Wuyu again and said, "That will be all for today, it's getting dark. You can come again early tomorrow."
Having to come again...
Linghe, who could hardly stand straight even with Li Wuyu's assistance, nearly burst into tears upon hearing An Jing's words.
On returning to the inn at Sixteen Town, Linghe was so exhausted she skipped dinner. Due to the aches all over her body, she lay on the inn's bed whimpering softly, a picture of absolute misery.
Li Wuyu, however, was seated leisurely at the table, sipping tea.
Linghe did want to ask Li Wuyu to massage her legs and shoulders, but after all, Li Wuyu was not her maidservant and moreover, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister. Even though she wasn't as high in status, Linghe couldn't treat Li Wuyu like a maidservant, so she had to massage and press on her own aching limbs.
