The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night was quiet.
Ye Heng and Ye Shixian had been sent away, and the attending servants were also dismissed.
Only then did the Eldest Princess turn to Ye Chutang. The stern look on her face faded, and her tone softened. "Alright, it's getting late. Hurry and take Xiao Wu to rest. Zhuxin has already prepared the adjoining rooms. You can go straight there. If you need anything else, just ask."
But Ye Chutang let go of Xiao Wu, took a few steps forward, lowered her gaze, and bent her knees in a solemn salute. "Chutang thanks Your Highness, the Eldest Princess."
The Eldest Princess immediately moved to take her by the arm. "You saved my life. What is a small favor like this in comparison?"
Ye Chutang's voice was calm, her words sincere. "Without permission, Chutang took the liberty of borrowing the Eldest Princess's influence. Your Highness is magnanimous and did not hold it against me, but Chutang cannot fail to remember this kindness."
