'Asleep?'
Yu Jiuqing couldn't help but frown slightly at Chen Ying.
Jiang Chengyi had delayed him for a bit, but it should still be early—far from Qingqing's usual bedtime.
Zhu Yuan quickly said, "My Lady is truly asleep. She's been very tired ever since returning to the capital. Perhaps she hasn't recovered from the journey's fatigue yet. She went to bed very early yesterday as well."
The maid before him seemed a little nervous. However, the two new maids Qingqing had hired were clearly not used to him yet and were always this tense in his presence, so Yu Jiuqing didn't think much of it.
He suppressed a fleeting sense of disappointment and said faintly, "I understand."
He hadn't had dinner or washed up yet, so naturally, he couldn't enter the room and disturb Qingqing's rest.
