Li Tong'er also felt that she had spoken too rashly, but not because she thought that he might be evil.
It was because she was a woman, and speaking like that made her seem rather immodest.
She shook her head and said firmly, "You're not a bad person."
Housekeeper Yu burst out laughing. "Bad people usually don't look bad, you know."
"But you're not a bad person," Li Tong'er insisted.
Housekeeper Yu smiled, but did not say anything more and continued on his way.
Li Tong'er scurried after him.
Seeing that she was following him, Housekeeper Yu furrowed his brow. "Aren't you going back to your natal home?"
Li Tong'er shook her head. "I don't feel like going back anymore."
"Why?" asked Housekeeper Yu. He could tell that she was no commoner's daughter. Since her natal home treated her well, why didn't she want to go back?
Li Tong'er pursed her lips and did not answer.
