Guo Ling had rarely returned to the village since becoming a maid for the Bai Family. It hadn't been long since her last visit home, so when she came back again, everyone was thrilled—everyone except her mother, Mrs. Guo, who knew the real reason.
"What exactly is the problem between you and Ji Huan?"
When Mrs. Guo saw her daughter Guo Ling go to the Song family home that night, she assumed she had developed feelings for Song Jing.
Song Jing was handsome and talented, and now he had become a Scholar. She would be more than satisfied with such a son-in-law.
What she didn't know was that Guo Ling was solely focused on accompanying her mistress to the Capital City as part of her dowry to rise above her station. She couldn't be bothered with a mere poor scholar.
