Zuo Xiangning discovered that there were a total of four little maidservants in the small courtyard where she lived, two serving her closely, and two busy in the courtyard itself.
Looking out from the entrance of the courtyard, it seemed to be a small garden, but she did not know how far it was from the main entrance.
In the evening, Zuo Xiangning sat down, just about to eat dinner, when she saw the masked man walk in with his hands behind his back. As he came to a stop beside the table, the maidservant next to him cleverly set another pair of chopsticks and bowl.
The masked man sat next to Zuo Xiangning and began eating without uttering a word.
Zuo Xiangning only took a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.
"Not to your taste?" asked the masked man.
"I haven't done anything all day, I'm not hungry." Zuo Xiangning lifted her eyes to glance at him. "Where are we now?"
"Chuzhou," replied the masked man.
