Soon enough, the ingredients and seasonings were almost ready.
At this moment, the same Little Maid came back, "Madam said that if the ingredients are nearly ready, you can start cooking. The young master has a social engagement and will return late, so no need to wait for him. If the young mistress is hungry, she can eat first."
"Got it," the kitchen maids responded, and the Little Maid left.
As soon as the Little Maid left, everyone started gossiping. Don't be fooled by the kitchen maids' old age; when it comes to gossiping, they were all lively and full of envy.
"The young master is really good to the young mistress. Every time he's coming back late, he sends someone to let her know so she doesn't have to wait."
"Yes indeed, the young mistress is really fortunate."
"I was wondering why our young master was still unmarried at this age; turns out he was waiting for the young mistress."
