A small gathering ended, and Guan Chuying and Changping got assurances from Wufu that they could meet once more before she left, and then they departed one after the other.
After seeing them off, Wufu took a sip of the tea Ma Nao handed her and asked, "Where's Purple Jade?"
"Sister Zi Yu is in her room."
"Call her over."
Purple Jade quickly appeared before Wufu, and she curtsied in greeting.
Wufu looked at her, making Purple Jade's heart skip a beat. Forcing a smile, she said, "Miss, why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower blooming on my face?"
Wufu said, "I'm wondering how long you plan to avoid me!"
Since Madam Zhou's passing, although Purple Jade continued to serve before Wufu, they were no longer as close as before. Purple Jade avoided being in Wufu's presence unless necessary, due to her feelings about Madam Zhou's matter.
"Miss..." Purple Jade bit her lip.
