“Good morning, Miss Song. I’m sorry for coming uninvited.”

Behind Ruan Peiting were a few servants dressed in the same uniform, holding various cleaning tools in their hands.

“Of course not.” Song Yunshu smiled at first, then looked at the servants behind her. “But this is…”

Ruan Peiting did not respond immediately. Instead, she turned around and gestured to the people behind her.

Those people immediately scattered in the room.

Only then did she retract her gaze and look at Song Yunshu, who was standing in front of her with a puzzled expression.

“These are all the servants who clean the old mansion. Yesterday, I saw that the hygiene of the Cen Garden didn’t seem to be very good, so I have arranged for some people to clean the place again early in the morning.”

The Cen Garden was Huo Cen’s private courtyard in the old mansion.

Although the old mansion was large, apart from the old master, Huo Shanghai, and Huo Shangqi, who had their own courtyard, Huo Cen was the only one in the younger generation who had such an honor.

Song Yunshu subconsciously looked around.

The servants had already taken the cleaning tools and were dusting and cleaning every corner of the room. Two of them had already gone upstairs.

Song Yunshu didn’t say anything upon seeing this.

She was not particularly familiar with the rules of the Huo Family’s old mansion, so she would not refute what Ruan Peiting said.

“You just woke up?”

As Ruan Peiting spoke, she looked at the dining table behind Song Yunshu.

Looking at the slice of bread in her hand, her shrewd eyes seemed to have seen through everything.

Song Yunshu smiled embarrassedly and hid the bread in her hand behind her.

“I’m sorry.”

Ruan Peiting still maintained a friendly and kind smile and did not show too much emotion because of her waking up late.

“Miss Song spent the night at the old mansion for the first time yesterday. I wonder if you’re used to sleeping here?”

“It’s alright.”

Song Yunshu answered honestly.

Ruan Peiting smiled and walked a few steps forward to the dining table.

She reached out her hand.

She opened the lid of the seafood porridge in the middle.

Then, she picked up the porcelain bowl and spoon that were placed at the side.

She scooped a bowl of seafood porridge and brought it to the front of Song Yunshu.

“This is the seafood porridge that was made in the kitchen this morning. Try it. The chef of the old mansion is superb. The old master likes it very much. You can also give them some suggestions while tasting it.”

Song Yunshu snapped out of her daze. Ruan Peiting had already placed the porridge in front of her.

Looking at the steaming seafood porridge, she UNconsciously frowned.

She swallowed hard to calm down the nauseating feeling in her chest.

She had faintly smelled the seafood when she sat down earlier, which was why she casually picked up the milk and bread which was placed on the table.

But she didn’t expect Ruan Peiting to give her such a big challenge.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to accept it or decline it.

She was extremely distressed.

Ruan Peiting still looked at her with an innocent expression.

It was as if those eyes were asking her why she didn’t accept it.

Song Yunshu smiled as she took the bowl from her and quickly placed it on the table after a heavy internal struggle.

“Thank you, but I just ate something earlier, so I really don’t feel hungry now.”

The lid of the seafood porridge was opened.

The fragrance filled the room.

Song Yunshu was about to explode from holding it.

However, Ruan Peiting was still here, so she couldn’t run away exaggeratedly.

Therefore, she could only swallow her saliva to suppress the discomfort.

“In that case, let’s try it next time.”

Ruan Peiting’s gaze was still on her face, not letting go of any expression on Song Yunshu’s face.

“Actually, I came here today for another matter. Miss Song, perhaps I’ll be more straightforward with what I’m about to say next, so please don’t be angry.”
