Song Yunzhao felt a headache coming on. She was in no mood to deal with a bunch of two-faced people, so she looked to He Lan Yun. "County Princess, for the sake of the rapport we've built today, could I trouble you to fend them off for me?"
'So now you see my value.' He Lan Yun cleared her throat, casting a smug glance at Song Yunzhao. "Look at you, so pathetic."
Song Yunzhao: …
'Fine. Since I'm the one asking for a favor, I'll endure it.'
Song Yunzhao quickly washed her face and hands and changed her clothes. Song Yexi had not yet returned when a cacophony of chattering voices drifted in from outside. It seemed everyone was back from Qiushui Pavilion.
Soon enough, there was a knock on Song Yunzhao's door. A gentle voice called from outside, "Miss Song, we were all so worried about you and came to visit. May we come in?"
