"Nanny, don't sleep outside tonight. Stay in the room with me. I'm scared."
Gu Lingqiao recalled last night's events and felt a chill run through her heart.
Who knows if the little ghost will appear again; it's safer to have someone accompany her.
"How can that be? Big families are most particular about rules. A maid can't break these rules, or people will laugh at the master's servants for not knowing their place."
The Old Maid's smile was a bit smug, hoping to scare her half to death. No way she'd keep her company.
"But...!"
"No buts. Miss, hurry up and freshen up. Breakfast is getting cold."
"Alright!" Gu Lingqiao gave up, resigning herself to take it one step at a time.
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Why is my face hurting so badly? Nanny, bring me a mirror." Gu Lingqiao felt pain all over, especially on her face, as if even her teeth hurt.
"Yes."
The Old Maid turned around and secretly chuckled.
