First, Xiaoling observed the maid as she ate food. She seemed to like meat dishes more but chose side dishes to keep a low profile. Xiaoling saw it as a chance to earn her trust, offering her more meat dishes. She constantly thanked Xiaoling as she ate.
After the maid finished eating, she served tea to Xiaoling, "Thank you for letting me have a meal with you," The maid thanked her once again, "Although the Second Lord feeds us well, it's an honor to eat at the same table as you."
Xiaoling was surprised that food wasn't the reason she was being thanked but the opportunity to eat at the same table. She nervously chuckled and nodded, accepting the gratitude.
"Why am I special?" She chuckled.
"Anyone the Second Lord dotes on is precious," The maid said before leaning forward on the table, "It's because there aren't many people that the Second Lord likes."
