On that day, Shi Yuanyuan arrived at the Shi Mansion before eight o'clock in the morning.
However, when she got there, the mansion's grand doors were tightly shut.
But how could such a well-to-do household possibly sleep in and not open their doors by now?
Shi Yuanyuan pondered for a moment and then decided to press the doorbell.
'Ding-dong'
No one responded.
'Ding-dong'
She pressed it again.
This time someone came to open the door.
Aunt Chen, wearing an apron, looked somewhat surprised upon seeing Shi Yuanyuan, "Who are you?"
Shi Yuanyuan put on a standard polite smile, "I'm Shi Yuanyuan, Shi Mei's cousin."
"So you are Cousin Shi," Aunt Chen immediately came to open the door, "Our young mistress is still sleeping, you might have to wait a while."
Shi Yuanyuan's smile remained unchanged as she nodded her head.
But such a wait turned out to be over an hour long.
In this hour, apart from Aunt Chen, Shi Yuanyuan didn't see anyone else.
