The maid finished speaking, but received no response for a long time. She couldn't help but look up, seeing the young lady holding a pen yet not writing, lost in thought. Hesitantly, she spoke, "Miss?"
Cheng Ru then returned to her senses and said to the maid, "It's nothing, you may leave."
Afterwards, Cheng Ru fell into a long daze again, until Mrs. Cheng entered.
"Your eldest cousin's marriage is settled. Alas, he still has to marry a merchant's daughter in the end. What will happen in the future?"
Cheng Ru put down the brush, her tone somewhat resentful, "Though I have no evidence, I'm sure our second cousin is involved in this matter with our eldest cousin. He always acts so recklessly."
Mrs. Cheng was also helpless, "After all, he's the Heir of the Marquis, with a status more noble than others, naturally doing as he pleases without considering consequences."
