Mei Mei walked down the stairs, yawning and stretching her hands. It was 11:00 a.m and she had slept in because her night had been very short after paying a visit to officer Jiang Meng and because the summer vacation had officially started and schools were on a break. So, there was no need to rise early.
Marching outside to the gardens next to Mingzhu's play house, she set off a popper.
"Hahaha...IT'S OVER!!!" She screamed.
Mingzhu, Lian, Mi Mi and four other little girls peeked out of the windows of the play house. Long Wen who had been brought over by the empress mother put down the German language novel she was reading.
Chi Lian scoffed.
All the elders of the Jun and Chi family that were sitting around a table in the gardens, grooming dogs grimaced.
Madam Feng peeped out of the kitchen window.
Jingzhe looked down from the balcony of his bedroom.
