The first rays of dawn stirred Mandara Manor from its slumber.
Long Yutian's injury cast a dense shadow over the entire manor, and every maid coming and going wore a cloud of gloom on their face.
Xia Yanxin was a light sleeper, awakened by the slightest noise. She opened her eyes to see a maid's figure in the dressing room, seemingly searching for something. She cautiously sat up, "Who is it?"
The maid was startled, tumbling to the floor. Once she had recovered, she swiftly got to her feet, "Miss Xia, I, I am cleaning!"
Xia Yanxin scrutinized her and indeed, the maid was holding a white cloth... Yes, it seemed like she was cleaning. But what if Yanxin hadn't woken up? What if the maid had been plotting something against her? Now that Bonivia was here, perhaps another ambush like last time could occur...
"Get out! From now on, you're not allowed to clean here while I am sleeping. Understand?"
"Yes, yes!" the maid responded respectfully, scrambling out of the room.
