Upon just thinking about it, the little maid hung her head low and quickly bowed.
"Lan Zhi pays respects to Miss. How was your journey, Miss?"
Still, her heart pounded with nerves, fearing the Miss might whip her.
Pei Shu'er smiled and nodded, "Lan Zhi, get up quickly. I am fine throughout the journey, and I have safely arrived at the Capital now."
Seeing Pei Shu'er smiling so gently, Lan Zhi's expression changed.
She cautiously lifted her head to look at Pei Shu'er, then immediately lowered it again.
It was truly like seeing a ghost; their Miss had always been stern and overbearing; when had she ever been so gentle?
No, she had, but only with the Third Prince.
No wonder, no wonder the Madam had been chanting about Shu'er every day since she returned from the frontier.
It turns out their Miss had indeed become so lovable?
Sure enough, tough places do sharpen one's character.
