Zhu Wangye didn't look up nor say anything so he assumed he made the correct decision.

"No! Wangye! Please have mercy! Why am I being thrown in the dungeonfor something like this?!" The Assistant Head Maid started shouting directly at Zhu Wangye as Jie Sheng came over. As she was grabbed by her arms, her tone changed. "It wasn't me! Wangye, it really wasn't me! Please investigate! It really was the Head Maid! Wagye!" She continued pleading that she was not at fault as she was dragged away by one guard and dissapeared from sight.

"Thank you Wangye for the leniency. Thank you Wangye for letting me stay." The Head Maid bowed again in gratitude, her features slightly taunt, waiting for punishment. Though she wasn't the one directly at fault, she was the one that took in such a wicked and ungrateful girl and supported her to such a position that she had wild thoughts and stepped out of line.

"Don't make the same mistake." Zhu Wangye replied from his desk, glancing at her briefly before turning back to his work. 

"Yes, Wangye. Thanking Wangye for your mercy." The Head Maid bowed again in gratitude and left the room, her upper body still lowered.

Jie Sheng came back shortly after the Head Maid left, having finished locking the audacious girl in the dungeons of the Residence. "Wangye, are there any more orders as to whatwe should do with her?" He asked as he entered and bowed to Zhu Wangye in servitude. 

"See if anyone is backing her." He curtly responded. Jie Sheng dipped his body lower in a bow and left to attend to the new duty given to him by his Master. Meanwhile, the servant that had been standing there the whole time continued helping Zhu Wangye in his work, as if he hear nothing. To survive in the world of nobilities as a servant, you often times had to act like ou are air. You do not hear what you aren't supposed to hear, if you do it's very likely you'll be gotten rid of by your own master sooner rather than later. Hearing what you aren't supposed to hear means you pose a threat to your Master and no one wants to keep a waiting tiger by their side. 

"Send for Wangfei." Zhu Wangye ordered his servant as the silence stretched on.

"Yes, Wangye." He responded as he bowed and walked out, much the same way as the Head Maid did, turning to close the door in front of him as he stepped out.

Left all alone in the room, none of the subordinates saw their deadpan Master break out into a smile. Anticipating something, perhaps praise from his beloved, he let out a low chuckle. Unbeknown to him, he kept a shadow of a smile on his face as he went back to his pile of documents. 

...

"Wangfei, Wangye sends for you." A male voice on the high end of the spectrum called out to Shen Tianyu from outside the doors to her room.

Turning over in her bed, not having moved from her blanket fort of warmth, she answred them from across the room. "Who are you?!" She shouted so her voice could reach the other person outside.

"Answering Wangfei, I am the Head Eunuch for Zhu Wangye." The answer came short and simple.

Shen Tianyu grumbled appreciatively. People that try to embellish themselves by adding unasked information when introducing themselves were just compensating for their lack of substance in her opinion. Though she would have liked to get a name too. "I'm getting up... tell him to wait for me." Her stomach growled at the same time as her finishing that statement so she added to it. "And tell him to have some food prepared for me and my companion." She pushed the wolf lying on top of her blankets to check if it was awake. When it didn't respond, she shook it harder and kicked at it from under the blankets.

" What?! I'm up, I'm up! " The wolf yelled angrily at it's rough awakening and moved off the bed, opting to lay on the floor instead but quickly got up upon realizing how cold it was. It glared at it's Mistress as it watched her sldie off the bed and pick out a thick and warm outfit to wear outside.

"Rong Jian called for us. I reckon he's taken care of that Assistant Head Maid by now. He'll probably have food for us so wake yourself up and let's go." She responded as she shooed the wolf to the living room with her chosen robe draped over one arm.

" Are you sure you can put that on by yourself? " The wolf asked as it eyed her robe as it left to stand guard on the otherside of the rice paper screen. It looked heavier and more layered than what he saw other humans wear. And it seemed to have more ieces too.

"I'll be fine." She responded as she turned around after making sure it wasn;t looking her way and bounded back to her bed, laying it down on the rumpled bedsheets. The Head Eunuch had left right after she finished speaking and didn't hear her conversation with her contracted spiritual beast. Not that anyone else could hear it's part of the conversation since it spoke through thier bond and not in any tongue that could be deciphered by humans unless they were experienced in beast taming concerning Snow Wolves. Which was rare since most humans preferred to study stronger demonic beasts like those with relation to dragons, phoneixes and turtles, three of the four beasts of the Cardinal Directions. The White Tiger was one of a kind and there were way too many demonic beasts that resembled or had tiger blood so humans more or less gave up on that particulat beast.

... 

Not long after, she emerged from her side of the screen in full dress. "I'm done. Let's go." She announced to the wolf to usher it off the chair next to the table, which had a soft cloth cushion on it. 

" Huh, so you do know how to put those complicated cothes on. " It commented as it elegantly jumped down from the chair, landing on it's feet and not looking very impressed. Perhaps, as a wolf, it didn't care much for human clothes or maybe the fur all over the outfit made it think of the possibly dead animals that were used t make it?

"Of course. This is a basic skill for humans living in high society." She answered proudly, walking towards the door with her white wolf striding beside her.
