Meeting Your Old Maid

Meanwhile, a decidedly less amorous meeting was happening in another room. Lady Yu had sent Li Tai Xuan and his wife to their new quarters, and now she had led Yue Niang and Tai Cheng to their rooms.

"You'll be staying here for the time being," Lady Yu said, and Yue Niang fought the urge to sigh as she looked around the room. 

Who knew that she would be back in this same room after so long? Was this the world's idea of a joke?

And if she had any suspicions that Lady Yu didn't remember her, they were all thrown out the window. The choice of room already proved it - Lady Yu had given her the very rooms she claimed before, when she was slated to be the lady of the manor. 

She adored this set of rooms, because it had a glorious view of the sunset, paired with a lovely night breeze tinged with the smell of flowers from outside.
