'Big Sis? Why is Yuan calling Miss Lily his big sister? I'm confused...' Rose's internal thoughts swirled, her gaze fixed on Lily with a perplexed expression that betrayed her lack of understanding.
Lily, sensing Rose's puzzled stare, couldn't help but feel bemused herself. "Is there something amusing on my face? You're giving me quite the stare..."
"No, nothing's on your face, Miss Lily. I just got lost in thought for a moment, pondering the situation. The news of Henry and his servant Peter's deaths will surely stir up trouble in the village," Rose offered an explanation for her curious gaze, skillfully deflecting Lily's attention away from her confusion.
Lily looked at Rose thoughtfully, a hint of suspicion flickering in her eyes. Though she felt Rose might be concealing something, her explanation did hold water, making it difficult for Lily to dismiss.
