"Oh dear," Duchess Wang Qixing said when she glanced out the window, only to see the same depressing canvas of a stormy morning. "The rain hasn't stopped."
Li Xueyue turned to the Duchess. "Yes, as a result, I'll have to practice archery indoors. I hope it won't be a rough journey for the instructor."
Duchess Wang Qixing nodded in response. "It'll be difficult to get here since we're located outside of the Capital, but don't worry. We'll compensate them more for today's lesson."
Li Xueyue smiled at the idea, happy that there would at least be a reward for them. It had been a while since she had last seen her instructor.
"I do pity the men working in the forest. They will have to endure another night out there." Duchess Wang Qixing sighed. "Well, they're diligent people."
Li Xueyue was unsure of who the Duchess was referring to. She had a suspicion on who it might be but she didn't want to jump to conclusions.
