Jiang Ning instinctively took a half-step back, looking at Gucheng.
Gucheng wore a blank expression.
Clearly, he didn't recognize this Palace Maid.
However, as long as he was by her side, her safety was guaranteed.
Jiang Ning composed herself and asked, "Who are you?"
"Your humble servant is Rui'er." The palace maid responded respectfully.
"Why did you call me Miss?" Jiang Ning asked again.
"Because..." Rui'er looked around, her gaze swept over Gucheng, her eyes sharp. Then, she answered, "Your humble servant was originally a servant of the Jiang Family."
Jiang Ning was taken aback, "You're of the Jiang family? How did you end up in the palace?"
"My circumstances are the same as his." Rui'er pointed to Gucheng.
Gucheng's expression remained impassive.
Jiang Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you two know each other?"
