The next day, at the main courtyard.
At daybreak Su Liya relieved Tian Tian of her night duties, the Duke left for court as she arrived. As he left, he instructed Su Liya to let Zhu Fengyin sleep in for an hour before waking her up. While Zhu Fengyin slept, Su Liya supervised the fourth rank maids as their cleaned up the room.
Su Liya felt weak while standing by the side, she hadn't slept well thanks to the disturbing news she received last night. She tossed and turned till late in the night and when she finally fell asleep, she was plagued by nightmares.
She kept on dreaming of Zhu Fengyin getting killed by Xia Ying after which she followed suit. In her nightmares, their deaths were slow and gruesome. Su Liya shivered and shook her head as she remembered each scene. A tap on her shoulder drew her away from her dark thought.
A maid stood by her side, Su Liya looked at the maid and asked "Sorry, is there any problem?".
