The next day, as Wei Ruo prepared to step out, she encountered Nurse Li just outside the gates of Tingsong Garden.
"So, Missy is heading out again?" Nurse Li asked with a beaming smile.
Wei Ruo found this smile to be anything but friendly.
"Do I need to report to you when I leave now?" Wei Ruo retorted.
After the last episode, Nurse Li had laid low for a while, but Wei Ruo had no idea what emboldened her to stir trouble today.
"Of course, Missy need not report to a lowly servant like me when she goes out, but it wouldn't hurt to inform the Madame." Nurse Li reminded.
"Have I not left this many times before? Do I need lessons from you?"
"Now, Missy, don't get angry. This old servant is only looking out for you. After all, things are different now. You used to have the support of nobles when you were busying with the affairs of the city's southern district, but everyone knows you have nothing to do with those matters anymore." Nurse Li managed a smirk.
