Li Yuwen entered the house, finding it quieter than usual.
By Pei Shenyan's side, besides the servant Pei Fusheng, there was also an old servant Pei Ji.
After Li Yuwen married into the household, Pei Shenyan found two maids nearby to serve her—a solitary girl named Cui Xi and a forty-year-old widow called Aunt Zhou.
Now, with Pei Shenyan and his two attendants absent, the house feels particularly quiet.
Apart from a few small birds chirping under the eaves, there were no other sounds to be heard.
Cui Xi walked around the house. "There's absolutely no sound, even Grandpa Ji is not home."
Li Yuwen also found it odd but she was always strong-willed and prideful, dismissing it, she said, "Not home then not home, let's just prepare dinner for the three of us."
Cui Xi glanced at Aunt Zhou, and both replied, "Understood, young mistress."
