Carrying a basket of pastries, Qing Yueqiu arrived nervously at the gate of her Master and Mistress's courtyard.
After making a mistake last night, Qing Yueqiu wanted to do everything she could to make it up to her Master and show her sincerity. After a morning of failed attempts, she had made the first batch of pastries of her life, ready to bring them for her Master to try.
'I hope Master doesn't dislike them... I hope he doesn't think they taste awful.'
Qing Yueqiu took a deep breath and knocked slowly on the gate.
A moment later, the gate opened.
To her disappointment, it wasn't her Master who appeared, but her Mistress, Ye Liyuan.
"Yueqiu, what are you doing here? Here to ask Ah Han for guidance again? Unfortunately, he left early this morning and I have no idea where he went. He's still not back, it's such a headache."
"Master is out..."
