Shen Yue knocked on the rusted door of the small room at the back of the servant's quarters.
She did not hear any response for a while but she still continued knocking patiently.
After some time, she couldn't help but wonder if perhaps the person had gone out somewhere.
However, the other maid had told her about this woman's nature and that she barely left the room.
So she ruled that option out.
Most probably, the person was inside the room and was not interested in seeing anyone and being ridiculed.
This should be why she was not opening the door.
"Hello. Madam, Ruth? Are you there?" Shen Yue softly enquired. "I have something of yours." She tried to pique the woman's interest.
However, there was still no response from the other side of the door.
It looked like the person really did not care about what Shen Yue might have in her possession.
I am going to try doing a bit longer chapters guys. So chapter length might vary from now on.
