My back stiffened, and I almost tripped over the threshold.
Because I was just around the corner, these two people didn't realize I hadn't walked far.
"Is it worse than pig's food? Hmph, you idiot, was the Sect Master's Wife brought here to cook for you?"
Uncle Zhong snorted coldly.
The Bearded Man chuckled awkwardly, "Heh heh, of course she's here to warm the Third Master's bed."
Do these two guys not know the saying 'he who takes the meal eats with short hands'??
They've been eating the food I cooked, and there they are, fabricating nonsense!!
I was full of exasperation as I hurriedly fled from the scene.
When I got back to the small courtyard where I had first woken up, someone had already lit the candles inside.
I thought there might be someone inside, so I knocked on the door.
When there was no response for a long time, I realized there probably wasn't anyone inside.
I pushed the door open and took a look – indeed, there was no one there, only the lit candles.
