"It was my fault today," Xiao Song thought back to the scene he had just witnessed, his throat turning dry, so he quickly refocused, "I understand your meaning and will certainly comply."
"Thank you, Mister Xiao," Xing Niang slightly bowed, sighing inwardly. She could see that Xiao Song looked at their mistress with affection. She had always thought highly of Xiao Song, if only he didn't have the reputation of causing his wife's death.
"Mister Xiao," Ran Meiyu's crisp voice called out.
Xing Niang made her excuses and turned back to attend to Ran Yan in the cabin.
"Found the ginger slices! Found the ginger slices!" Wan Lu rushed over from the rear cabin, not paying attention to Ran Meiyu, and accidentally bumped into her.
In truth, the force was not great, and a normal person could have steadied themselves, but Ran Meiyu cried out in surprise, and deliberately threw herself towards Xiao Song's embrace.
