After Lu Shaoyuan left, Luo Yao got out of bed; she couldn't lie down any longer. Her heart was tense and chaotic as she looked at herself in the mirror, her face pale.
Sighing, she washed and groomed herself simply, changed into an outfit for going out, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.
Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen and saw her about to go. She quickly called, "Young Madam, where are you going? Breakfast is already prepared!"
"Aunt Chen, I have no appetite!"
Luo Yao's face didn't look too good. "I have some things to attend to right now and need to go out!"
Aunt Chen quickly said, "Then I'll go with you. Second Young Master said you shouldn't go out alone now!"
"No need!"
Luo Yao didn't want Aunt Chen to follow her, so she lied, "I'm just going back to my mom's place for a bit. It's no issue! If I don't come back by noon, don't prepare my lunch!"
"Oh, alright!"
