"Miss, Miss Ke is in her room. Shall I fetch her?" the maid inquired.
"No need. I'll go myself." Song Mi'er shook her head, about to step inside, but paused and asked, "Tell me, is Miss Ke truly beautiful?"
Hearing this, the two maidservants looked at her uncertainly, hesitating. Would their young mistress be displeased if they praised another girl's beauty in her presence?
"Speak up! Why are you staring at me?" Song Mi'er urged.
"Miss Ke is exceptionally beautiful. Everyone in the mansion says so," the maidservants replied, quickly lowering their heads, fearful of angering their young mistress.
"Oh?" She seemed unimpressed. Ever since witnessing her mistress's peerless beauty, she believed no other woman could compare.
Walking further in, she glanced around before approaching the central door and knocking. "Miss Ke, it's Song Mi'er. My mother sent me to invite you to dine in the front courtyard."
