Bab 159: 2.1.10: The Duchess’ Personal Student

The next morning, Xiao Yunhua was woken up by the servants who ushered her to get dressed quickly to eat breakfast with the rest of the family. They assumed that she was dumb enough to think of this as concern, but Xiao Yunhua was much more intelligent than an actual seven year old. Obviously they woke her up late because they wanted to make her look bad. Most likely, these were the instructions of someone... The Duchess? Xiao Yunhua shook her head. No, the woman was too drunk to think of this petty antic.

She dressed simply and headed down for breakfast, the rest of the people already being there and eating comfortably. They didn't look at her and she avoided eye contact too. Mindlessly, she ate her eggs and glanced at the silent Duchess who didn't look like she was giving her the time of day. Xiao Yunhua was relieved that the woman didn't remind her drunken behavior and didn't say anything about it. She preferred to be left alone anyways.
