Shao He did not go out to see patients today and lay in bed, dozing off. By the time she woke up again, it was already evening. She got up, pushed open the window, and looked outside.
The fresh air after the rain came streaming in, invigorating her spirits. Just as she was stretching her limbs, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Qingxia, carrying food, walked in and set it down on the table upon seeing that her mistress was up.
"This servant guessed right; I knew Miss would be up at this time, so I specially prepared a meal for fear that Miss might be hungry," Qingxia said with a giggle.
"You really are the worm in my stomach."
Shao He joked as she walked over to sit down, her appetite whetted by the smell of the tempting meal. After eating her fill, she asked, "Where's Qingshan?"
"It seems I haven't seen her all day today; I don't know where she's run off to be lazy," Qingxia said, frowning.
