In the room, Zhu Pingniang tilted her head and whispered with Miss Lu.
Not long after.
A woman in a green dress stepped over the threshold, bowed, and said softly.
"Ms. Zhu, Steward Lu."
"Ah Qing?" Zhu Pingniang raised her head and waved her hand.
Miss Lu understood her meaning, tidied Zhu Pingniang's messy clothes, and then retreated behind the screen, leaving the space for Zhu Pingniang and Miss Aqing.
It was evident that after Miss Lu's figure disappeared, even though Ah Qing knew she was still in the room, her tense body gradually relaxed.
"You girls are really something."
Zhu Pingniang motioned for Ah Qing to sit down, then said helplessly, "Not afraid of me, but afraid of her?"
Miss Aqing smiled but said nothing.
Zhu Pingniang didn't mind, she only asked.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"I don't know."
Miss Aqing's tone was soft, with a hint of doubt in her light green eyes.
