"Miss, something terrible has happened!"
"Speak slowly. What is it?" Song Yunzhao put away the letter and silver notes in her hand, frowning slightly as she looked at Qiancao.
Qiancao took a breath to calm herself before speaking. "I went to the laundry to fetch something and overheard Hong Yingniang telling someone that the Mistress wants to send you to the Cai Family to accompany the old matriarch of the Cai Mansion to a temple for prayers. She said you'd have to stay for at least ten to fifteen days. Miss, if you really go, how will you participate in the selection? If this is true, the Mistress is truly too cruel."
Song Yunzhao was also stunned. She hadn't expected Mrs. Cai to come up with such a scheme.
Before she could even come up with a countermeasure, Nanny Zhao, who served Mrs. Cai, arrived with a wide smile. "Third Miss, the Mistress requests your presence."
