“Wuuu...”
The more he tried to comfort her, the louder she cried.
“Alright, alright.” He broke into a soft chuckle.
“How can you laugh at me?”
He took a few paper napkins and wiped her tears away. “I know you are afraid of such things. That’s why I warned you, alright? Why did you still want to go in?”
“I... I had a strong feeling that there was someone inside...” She explained as she sobbed.
His eyes darkened, but he continued to play along. “There are no humans in there. Only ghosts exist inside that room.”
“Brother Jingxuan, stop spooking me!” She turned her head petulantly to one side, pretending to ignore him. action
“You can all leave the room now.”

All the servants retreated from the room shortly.
“Alright, stop feeling angry. You don’t look pretty when you’re upset.” He tugged at her sleeve.
“Hmph!” She pulled her sleeve away from his grip, obviously still angry.
“Ahh!” The man cried out in pain.
“What happened? What happened to you, Brother Jingxuan?” She quickly turned around to look at his injury.
“I’m the patient here. Do you really want the patient to look after you now?” He sounded resigned.
The woman, who was no longer angry by then, asked him with pain in her eyes, “Did I hurt you?”
“Yes, yes!” He exaggerated the pain he felt.
“Oh, no. What should I do?” She fidgeted anxiously.
He hurriedly grabbed her wrist and consoled her. “Don’t worry, I’m just kidding.”
“You...”
“Your soup is really nice. Can I have more?” He used this chance to change the topic.
“Yes, there’s still a lot left.” The woman quickly turned around to scoop another bowl for him.
The man could finally heave a sigh of relief.
“I’ll boil more soup for you.”
“Leave the chores to the servants. You’ll get tired if you cook.”
She replied with a smile, “Alright.”
A servant dashed in at that moment.
“Y-Young Master...”
“What is it?”
“I... I left my necklace behind by accident when I came in to clean the room this morning. D-Did you happen to find it?” she inquired timidly.
“Is this it?”
The maid’s face lit up when she saw it. “Yes, yes!” She nodded enthusiastically.

The girl quickly replied, “There is something I have to report.”
“What is it?”
“This necklace was given to me by my fiance. I’m getting married soon, so... I’m resigning, Young Master.”
“Your fiance?”
The maid added shyly, “Yes... that’s right. My fiance is rich so... I don’t need to work as a servant anymore.”
“Where were you just now?” This girl had not been among the dozens of servants she had interrogated earlier.
“I was preparing my resignation letter to submit it to the supervisor. While looking through my stuff, I realized that the necklace was missing.”
Gu Feirou threw the necklace at the servant condescendingly. “Fiance? Well, it sounds like you are someone else’s mistress instead.”
The servant picked up the necklace from the floor, looking utterly embarrassed.
“How can a lowly servant marry into a rich family? How could a rich young man be blind enough to pick you as his wife?”
She continued to insult the servant without reservation.
“Is this yours too?” The woman then threw the earring on the floor as well.
“This isn’t mine. It belongs to Hong Tao. She was looking high and low for this earring yesterday.”
“How can you be so careless? Why are the group of you constantly losing your things?”
