It was long past mealtime, but thankfully, there were still some Sweet Dew Cakes and Golden Leaf Pastries kept warm in the kitchen for the masters.
Song Lianhe nibbled absently on a pastry, glancing up from time to time at the servant girls chatting outside the door.

'What if I knocked them out and made it look like robbers did it?'
'That wouldn't work either. Robbing the Governor Mansion? You'd have to be insanely audacious!'
'What if they ended up suspecting Zhou Cangyan?'
The more Song Lianhe thought, the more frustrated she became. She took a vicious bite of a Golden Leaf Pastry, completely ignoring the crumbs that scattered around her mouth.
'Things have already gotten this bad. Why should I even care about my image?'
