At this moment, Tushere also seemed to sense the cold indifference emanating from Shang Ruyi, as if from her very bones, but she said nothing, only revealing a hint of distress in her eyes.
After a while, she softly said, "Miss, don't be sad."
Shang Ruyi replied, "What do I have to be sad about?"
Tushere said nothing.
Her silence instead caught Shang Ruyi's attention. She turned to look at Tushere's somewhat gloomy expression and was about to speak when a servant woman came to deliver their meal.
The meal delivered wasn't much, just a steaming bowl of soup rice and several small dishes.
Tushere said, "How did it take so long to prepare this little bit?"
The servant woman smiled apologetically and said, "The people below got seasick, and the freshly served meal accidentally got dropped, so it had to be reheated. We've made the Young Madam wait a long time, please forgive us."
After saying this, she also bowed to Shang Ruyi.
