Bai Xiao walked around the room and noticed that the towels and toothbrushes were dry; it seemed like the bathroom hadn't been used for several days.
So busy that there wasn't even time to come home to rest?
Sigh, Uncle really should not assign so much outdoor work in this cold weather!
Thinking of Ye Huang's hardships, Bai Xiao's heart ached.
"Will Ye Huang come back today?" Bai Xiao asked.
The housemaid shook her head, "I don't know."
"How many days has he not returned?"
"Today is the third day."
Three days, he should be back soon, right? Bai Xiao thought to herself, looking out at the wind and snow with a sense of melancholy.
"Young Madam, please rest well; just let us know if you need anything."
"I want to cook. Take me to the kitchen!"
"Yes."
Bai Xiao stewed some pork ribs in sauce and made a pot of pork rib and winter melon soup, waiting for him to return and enjoy a hot bowl, warming him and staving off hunger.
...
Soon, it got dark.
