Hua Xiaomai had just placed the bundle she brought with her into the room when, turning around, she saw Qing He smiling at her from the doorway, and noticed Song Jingxi had already walked out of the Taoyuan House. Feeling rather surprised, she quickly took a few steps outside and said with a smile, "Why aren't you going back? I didn't bring much, and I can manage on my own; there's no need for help..."
Qing He responded with a smile and approached, "My Lady instructed me to stay with you at the inn for the next few days to keep you company."
"No...is that necessary?" Hua Xiaomai felt even more astonished. "Taoyuan House is right in the bustling market area, with lots of passersby. I'm not scared easily, and I feel quite secure living here alone; you don't need to trouble yourself..."
