Main Courtyard.

Ping Tong waited silently outside the door of the left wing room.

One quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed... half an hour passed!

Seeing that Daohua still hadn't called her in, Ping Tong became somewhat anxious. "Why hasn't the eldest young miss finished bathing yet?"

At that moment, a maid dressed similarly to Ping Tong came over with a smile, "Sister Ping Tong, Madam is worried and has sent me to check on the eldest young miss, how is it, has the eldest young miss finished bathing?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ping Tong forced a bitter smile, then shook her head, "Ping Xiao, you've arrived just in time. Please, help me listen, is there any sound coming from inside the room?"

After speaking, Ping Tong pushed Ping Xiao towards the door.

Ping Xiao was somewhat helpless, "Sister Ping Tong, what are you doing?"

Ping Tong replied, "The eldest young miss wanted to bathe by herself, so I came out, but it has already been half an hour, and there is not a sound from the room."

"Ah?" Startled, Ping Xiao pressed her ear against the door without Ping Tong having to push her, listened for a while, and then looked at Ping Tong with furrowed brows. "There really is no sound coming from the room. Could something have happened?"

Hearing this, Ping Tong could no longer bother with propriety and pushed open the door, rushing in quickly.

Ping Xiao also hurriedly followed suit.

They were the Senior Maids of Madam Li and knew all too well how much Madam Li valued the eldest young miss.

If something had really happened to the eldest young miss, perhaps she would be fine, but Ping Tong, who had been assigned to serve the eldest young miss, would likely be in trouble.

Ping Tong ran into the room, heading straight for the bathing chamber, and upon seeing Daohua asleep at the edge of the bathtub, a flash of amazement crossed her eyes, then she just stood there, rooted to the spot.

Ping Xiao followed, and seeing her like that, was about to say something when her gaze swept over and she caught sight of Daohua in the bathtub, swallowing hard the words she had in her mouth.

Both of them involuntarily held their breath, afraid of waking the person inside the tub.

Who could have imagined that the previously unkempt little beggar girl could possess such a divine beauty?

It took a while before Ping Xiao recovered from her amazement, "I used to think that the third young miss, Yiyi, was quite beautiful, but now, compared to the eldest young miss... I fear she merely has the fate of being a maid."

By then, Ping Tong had also come back to her senses and nodded in agreement at Ping Xiao's words, but soon added, "You must not say that again, the one from Shuangxin Courtyard is not easy to provoke."

Ping Xiao scoffed, "Isn't Madam Lin just relying on her looks and being a few years younger than our Madam? No matter how much the master favors her, she is just a concubine."

Ping Tong shook her head, "You should be more careful with your words in the future. That woman knows how to act weak and coquettish. If you fall into her hands, prepare to suffer."

Ping Xiao pursed her lips, showing some dissatisfaction, but still refrained from continuing the topic.

"Eldest young miss, you're awake!"

Ping Tong had wanted to persuade Ping Xiao further, but at that moment, her eyes met a pair of clear, bright black pupils.

Daohua, leaning against the bathtub, first glanced at Ping Xiao, then nodded at Ping Tong.

She wasn't dead asleep, just slightly dizzy from soaking in the warm water.

Having traveled for so long, she was indeed tired, and had simply closed her eyes to rest.

She had heard everything the two of them said. It seemed Madam Lin was quite favored. It looks like her future days would be rather interesting.

"Go get some more hot water. I want to wash up again."

A quarter of an hour later, Daohua stepped out of the bathtub, wrapped in a bath towel.
