When the first glimmer of light appeared, Eldest Madam Ning woke up.
She first went to the temple to chant scriptures, then looked over the household ledger.
This was the first day she did it and would also be the last.
Chanting scriptures had quieted her thoughts so she could understand the thoughts of the people of the household, and reading the ledger could help her see every single detail of the household affairs. For the madam of the house, this was enough. She could look as if she did not understand anything, while in reality, she always had a thorough understanding.
When the sky was truly bright out, people started to move in the courtyards. The silent Ning Family started to stir. Eldest Madam Ning had just returned to the inner room to wait on Eldest Master Ning when he woke up.
Yesterday night, Eldest Master Ning hadn’t rested here. The empty chambers felt somewhat lonely.
