Gu Youyou quickly donned her clothes, then heard Xiaotao's crisp voice.
"Madam Jin, breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat now or wait for Young Master Jin to return?"
Gu Youyou glanced through the window at the sky, finding it a bit improper to be eating breakfast at this hour; it was almost time for lunch.
She smiled and asked, "Where is Zijin? Where did he go?"
Xiaotao replied, "Young Master Jin went out early this morning. He instructed that you eat some breakfast after you wake up, and he'd take you out for lunch at midday."
"Did he say when he'll be back?"
Xiaotao shook her head and said, "No."
Gu Youyou pondered what Jin Zijin's plans could imply. But she had no understanding of the ancient ways of hospitality, especially of great ancient clans, and thus even after much thought, she couldn't figure it out.
Well, she might as well just do as he said. She had fled here to escape misfortune; what was there to fuss about?
