At 10:30 a.m., the Lu Family residence.
Lu Sirong had nightmares all night long.
She dreamt of being choked by a crazed Lu Xingye when she was little, who, from behind, repeatedly pushed her head into the bathtub, with his malicious laughter echoing in her ears.
She was so frightened that she woke up in the middle of the night and did not fall back into a fitful sleep until the dawn.
"Knock knock." At this moment, a servant stood outside knocking on the door.
Lu Sirong had just gotten up not long ago, her hair disheveled as she walked to the door and said impatiently, "What is it?"
"Miss, this is the bird's nest soup that Madam ordered the kitchen to prepare for you. She instructed me to bring it up for you to drink."
In the servant's hands was a plate, a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge still emitting heat, freshly cooked from the kitchen, along with a plate of crystal cakes and three or four appetizing side dishes.
