"I saw it with my own eyes. Before the young mistress married in, the young master didn't talk much, but that was his cool demeanor.
After she married and then left, the young master became even less talkative, never even smiling—that was a sorrowful silence.
If she had any feelings for the young master, she wouldn't have left so cleanly, taking nothing, saying nothing, leaving without a sound, never returning.
By the way, I heard she came back for a man. Was that the reason she left in the first place, because of him?"
"No way. Stop making wild guesses, or you'll put the young master in a bad light. If he finds out, you can forget about working here."
"Don't worry, it's just the two of us here, no one will hear us. You don't mention it, I don't mention it, who would know what we talked about."
Chen Zhi turned and quietly left, returning to her room, laying down her clothes.
