Shen Ruoxi got up a bit later this morning due to the commotion from yesterday.
Xu Ci had already been waiting outside for quite a while.
The maid serving Shen Ruoxi saw that Xu Ci had been waiting for a long time and asked if she should wake Shen Ruoxi.
Xu Ci rolled her eyes at her and quipped, "Even the Emperor doesn't dare to disturb her, yet you're quite bold! It's fine for me to wait for her a while—even a day or two—without disturbing her in the slightest!"
Upon hearing this, the maid was so frightened she shivered all over and hurriedly knelt down, trembling as she said, "Yes, servant understands."
However, Shen Ruoxi naturally would not let Xu Ci wait long. Shortly after, she woke up.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Shen Ruoxi's voice carried a hint of listlessness.
Xu Ci replied irritably, "It's breakfast time. Aren't you hungry? Aren't you afraid of the baby in your stomach getting hungry?"
