In the tea house, Madam Niu's heart was racing. Two hours had already passed, and if they didn't come back soon...
Fortunately, at that moment, Zou Qiuyue finally returned.
"Madam." Madam Niu's heart finally settled back down. "Thank goodness you're back..."
"Is there anything the matter?" Zou Qiuyue looked somewhat tired, but still settled into the private room. At least she wanted to know what songs were performed earlier in the tea house, and what tea was served here.
"Earlier, we ran into Madam Liu Hanlin. The old servant said Madam had gone to the bathroom, and then saw the Imperial Censor's wife. However, she didn't see us and didn't come over to greet us..." Madam Niu recounted the events and encounters of the past two hours.
Zou Qiuyue nodded. She hadn't been in Beijing for long, mostly had been in the Shu Region before, and only came to the capital after the incident with Gu Ye. Counting the time, it had only been five years.
