No Good Reason

Li Meirong intended to resume her search for Snowball the instant Bao Li left. But just as she was about to stand, Xiao An Fei dropped to her knees before Li Meirong, and clutched at the hem of her dress.

"My Lady, this servant deserves to be punished!" Xiao An Fei cried out.

"Whatever for?" Li Meirong queried, bewildered. There must be something in the air today, she thought, because everyone around her kept acting overly dramatic. 

Xiao An Fei lightly tugged on the hem of her dress. "My Ladyship being ill at ease is all this servant's fault! This foolish servant just recalled that the young fox spirit left to see the tournament with His Lordship. If you give me the chance, I shall fetch him for you right away."

"..." Li Meirong was too stunned to respond.

She couldn't help but feel like she had just suffered a massive headache for no good reason...

Xiao An Fei bobbed her head and rose to her feet.
