"The general has taken a new wife," a maid said while serving Kai Syaoran a cup of tea. She had a bright smile and a bright personality, with her only flaw being that she liked to gossip. Kai Syaoran had long gotten used to this woman's personality and even found it helpful in some cases. She brought him information from far and wide. She always seemed to know what was going on among the powerful families in Serene Metropolis.
For instance, Kai Syaoran wanted to keep an eye on the general, Long Wuji's actions, but he was not willing to spend too much time on this endeavor. When he learned of his personal maid's penchant for gossip, he encouraged her behavior, and over the past year, the maid had grown bold enough to include Kai Syaoran in the gossip she gathered. Kai Syaoran always divined the secrets of the heavens to confirm that he was told the truth. Eight out of ten rumors brought to him by the maid were truths. She was truly talented in this regard.
