'I don't trust the food you bring. And besides, I just drifted into sleep and you disturbed me, let me sleep in, I'm a sick person!' She thought to herself as she tried to roll over only to remember that her wolf spiritual beast was laying on top of her and she couldn't move.
"In that case... I'll have them make some porridge and bring that over. Even if you have no apetite, you should eat something, Miss." The Assistant Head Maid, despite her worried and concerned voice, was smiling with an unkind gleam in her eyes.
'Geez. She's so persistent.' Shen Tianyu thought as she laid there, with her head turned to the side to look at the girl's silhouette. "Fine." She told the other simply, turning he rhead away from the screen. She heard the girl walk out and the door being shut softly.
" You're going to eat her food again? " The wolf half lying on her legs peeked up at her with a half-open eye. It's head was resting on it's crossed paws, looking very much at home.
" Says who? I can just throw it out the window when she leaves. It's only porridge so it won't be as noticeable as solid food. It's not like she can stand there all day just to see me eat. She has other duties besides attending to me and if she neglects them in the absence of the Head Maid, it's just raise suspicions towards her. " Shen Tianyu responded as she closed her eyes again, trying to get back to sleep.
However, that was not to be as a knock sounded on her door again right before she drifted into sleep, causing her to almost throw her pillow at the door and yell at the person to go away. Almost. She still needed the pillow to laze aorund comfortably.
"Miss. I have brought the porridge." The familiar voice sounded befoer Shen Tianyu could yell at her.
"Okay. Just put it on the table. I'll come eat it later. I'm feeling gorggy." Shen Tianyu replied, toning down her annoyance but not enough that the other couldn't obviously hear it.
The door creaked open as it was pushed inward and footsteps sounded as the girl walked to the table in the living room in front of the screen and set down the tray with a clack. The outline Shen Tianyu saw through the screen turned towards her and bowed. "Miss, I've put the porridge down on the table. Please puruse it before it gets cold, as thta would be unhealthy for you. I'll be leaving to attend to my other duties now. If there's anything you need, please call for me through another servant or have them complete the task." It waited for a reply, upper body still bowed.
"Alright, I got it. Sorry for being a bother to you. Go do your work." Shen Tianyu replied offhandedly. But the shadow accepted the response anyways and left, careful to close the door behind herself.
Shen Tianyu sighed and closed her eyes again, not making any move to get out of bed.
" You're not going to throw it away? " She heard the wolf speak to her through their bond. " Later. " Was her reply to it's question.
...
Meanwhile, the Assistant Head Maid walked down the main road with a bright smile on her face, as clear as the sun after a rainy season. She was not walking in the direction of the kitchen or th ether courtyards, but toward the Aster Courtyard, the one Zhu Wangye resides in. This morning, when she had just woken up, she was met with one of her Master's close servants and told to go to Aster Courtyard after serving the Miss in the Dahlia Courtyard, the one next to his. Her thoughts may be running in an inapropriate direction as she walked but she didn't care.
'Wangye was treating that Miss, from who knows where, so well. That meant his devotion and gentle nature was there all along. I was even berating herself for not fighting harder to try to capture the Wangye's heart earlier becaue of what everyone said about his cold personality and being scared by his expressionless face. I bet everyone was just saying that to prevent me from trying to go after Wangye! For sure, they tried to but failed and was just trying to prevent more competition! I'm sure once I capture Wangye's heart, he'll also treat me extremely well and even throw away that unknown woman! I may not be from a noble family but Wangye has already resigned from the line of succession so he needn't feel pressured to marry someone of great power or status. And I'm also less of a hassle than those women. I can do chores and take care of myself just fine, unlike those women who can't even feed themselves.' She lowly laughed to herself, being carefult o cover her hand with her sleeves just in case anyone saw her. 'I need to learn my manners now so Wangye won't feel troubled about my lack of high-class mannerisms.'
She arrived at the front of the Aster Courtyard and straightened her back, fixing her clothes and hair wherever she could reach to make sure nothing was out of place. She plastered a modest smile on her face despite her pouding heart and folded ehr hands in front of her. For now, she was still a servant girl, she couldn't let her Master think she was acting out of place. She stepped over the threshold of the moon gate and walked slowly towards the main building. Arriving at the front door, she knocked on the wood to announce her prescence in a controlled monotone.
"Wangye, I am the Assistant Head Maid. I was told this morning, you called for me?" She asked in her carefully flat voice.
"Come in." The voice thta sounded was not her Master, but one of his servants whom she knew to a certain degree. This caused her to frown, but she reasoned that her Master was probably there if this servant was there. He followed Wangye around like a dog.
