Outside the door, Qingcao’s face was filled with worry as she gently knocked on the door...
Dong, dong dong...
Qingcao had followed Su Jinyu since she was young. To be honest, she was probably the person who understood her lady the best.
She might even know her better than Su Jinyu knows herself.
In the past, Su Jinyu would also lock herself in her room like this.
But this maidservant’s words could still get some response.
Yet today, no matter what she said, Su Jinyu seemed not to hear...
Qingcao furrowed her brows, continuously guessing in her mind what exactly had happened.
Anything that could make her lady act like this surely wasn’t a trivial matter...
"Miss, is it because of Young Master Shenhan?
Did Young Master Shenhan... reject your goodwill..."
Qingcao pondered aloud.
As soon as she finished speaking, an invisible force pushed her directly away.
It seemed that Su Jinyu remembered she had served her for a long time, being as close as sisters, and thus restrained herself.
Otherwise, she might have already punished her for such nonsense.
Such resoluteness must have been due to something particularly significant and thorny.
With these thoughts in mind, Qingcao dared not speak more.
Though her lady was kind to her, she was, after all, a maid.
Sometimes, speaking too much could easily irk one’s master.
That day, Qingcao prepared some snacks and meals.
According to the two-hour window, she brought the food to the door of Su Jinyu’s room.
She gently knocked on the door, telling her lady that the food she brought was placed outside the door.
If her lady wanted to try it, she just needed to open the door to get it.
In the past, her lady would often eat some snacks while nestling away.
But today, she hadn’t touched any food all day...
Although she said nothing to her, Qingcao could already sense that it was something very, very serious.
As the sky darkened and brightened again,
This was another night where Su Jinyu hadn’t consumed any food.
Concerned, Qingcao couldn’t help but knock on the door again.
"Miss, what trouble have you encountered, can you tell Qingcao...
Qingcao is really worried about you like this..."
By now, her lady hadn’t left the room for nearly twelve hours.
"Miss, I beg you, just come out and have some food... please..."
As she spoke, the door suddenly opened.
"Go buy some wine, strong wine, I want to try it..."
Leaving these words, Su Jinyu opened the door.
However, she did not come out, but after leaving these words, she returned to her room.
Qingcao didn’t dare delay and quickly went out to buy some wine.
She also bought some side dishes to go with the wine.
The strong wine nowadays was concocted and brewed by those warlocks and Pill Masters.
Even practitioners couldn’t withstand endless cups; they would get drunk if they had enough.
Qingcao was a bit worried; it seemed her lady seldom drank.
On such a sudden occasion, she didn’t dare to buy very strong wine.
She reduced the strength a bit and bought two pots of rather spicy wine.
But at least it wouldn’t be overly intoxicating.
Carrying the items, Qingcao hurried back to the Rain Listening Pavilion.
She brought out the side dishes and took out the wine glasses, gently filling them for her lady.
"Miss, what on earth have you encountered...
Even Qingcao can’t be told..."
Qingcao’s face was filled with worry, but Su Jinyu was as she had been before.
