Concubine Qin wanted to follow. The housekeeper blocked her way and gently said, "Concubine Qin, the Prince isn't in the best mood. Please let him have some peace."
Concubine Qin looked at the housekeeper who had stopped her, feeling quite displeased inwardly, though outwardly she didn't show it. Instead, she asked with a concerned expression, "What happened to the Prince? Where did the Prince go earlier?"
The housekeeper remained silent and did not answer.
Concubine Qin asked again, "What's troubling the Prince? You know, don't you? Tell me, perhaps I can ease the Prince's worries?"
This time, the housekeeper spoke, but still didn't answer Concubine Qin's question, instead saying, "Concubine Qin, I take my leave."
After speaking, the housekeeper headed to the study.
Concubine Qin stood there watching the housekeeper's departing figure, secretly cursing, thinking what a damn servant, what a thing!
