The young maid Xique carried the food box back to Qingqiu Garden, and as she passed the garden, she happened to see Mrs. Li approaching.
She hurriedly greeted her, "Mrs. Li, where are you headed?"
Mrs. Li's face turned stern, "Do I need to inform you where I'm going?"
"… I didn't mean it that way," the young maid quickly said.
"The Eldest Young Madam's maid gave me quite a bit of pastry, so I thought of sharing it with you and Madam," the young maid explained.
Mrs. Li glanced at the food box, a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Just a bit of pastry and she's so satisfied, how unambitious.
Mrs. Li said apathetically, "Don't wander around unnecessarily."
With that advice, Mrs. Li walked away.
The young maid kept watching her, her little brows furrowing.
What's with Mrs. Li today?
Her temper is so harsh, it's like her eyes are on top of her head.
Shaking her head, the young maid looked at the food box and joyfully returned to Qingqiu Garden.
Agarwood Pavilion, backyard.
