Just as Xiaoling was counting Weisheng's crimes, she heard a knock on her door. She turned herself away from the door as it opened, standing behind the jade screen before her bed.
As Weisheng entered, freshly dressed in clean clothes, he noticed her silhouette behind the jade screen.
"Good evening, Master," Weisheng politely greeted her, "Did you have dinner?"
Xiaoling took a deep breath, "Kneel." She murmured.
Weisheng didn't hear her quite right, so he slowly walked toward her out of concern.
When she heard his footsteps coming closer, she raised her voice, "Kneel, I said!"
Stunned, Weisheng instantly dropped to his knees. He wondered what he did wrong. Suddenly, the room became quiet, adding to Weisheng's confusion. Xiaoling gripped the jade tassel tightly as she thought about how to bring it up with him.
