Chu Yun was in a fine fucking mood all of the previous day and throughout the morning 'Jiang-er' was due to arrive in the estate.
Xiao Zai knew to avoid the danger zone, and kept well away from him. Little Pan was quick to give him his assessment early on:
"His Grace is in a mood most foul this morning," he said, grimacing slightly. "He has threatened to scalp the kitten, 'Little Monster' twice."
Xiao Zai chuckled. "Just twice? That means his mood is improving."
Little Pan gave him a look that conveyed just how deeply he worried for his mental health, and how glad he was to be a servant that wasn't at liberty to voice those concerns in front of his master.
The time of the man's arrival eventually came, and as expected, Chu Yun was nowhere to be seen.
It fell to Xiao Zai to welcome the First Prince's carriage. Who was delivering his favourite to Xiao Zai's doorstep himself.
