She had waited all evening, and Lun Qin had even skipped dinner. It was only when the mistress's people didn't show up that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Surely the master hadn't told the mistress, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay here so peacefully. Although the master's words had been harsh, he ultimately had a soft spot for her. She liked to think that he still cared for her, deep down, and a glimmer of hope was kindled in Lun Qin's heart again.
Due to Lun Qin's personality, she didn't get along with the other women in the embroidery room. Even when she missed dinner the night before, no one noticed. It was only when Musheng's wife took attendance the next day and found Lun Qin absent did they learn she was ill and had not come. They granted her another day of leave, oblivious to the daring act she had committed the night before.
