We are a team aren't we

The Governor's mansion

About Forty minutes into her conversation with these women, Su Liya concluded that these women had too much time in their hands and nothing to do. She was bored of these baseless conversations the women brought up, in the beginning, they seem to launch an Inquisition into Lu Yaozhu and herself.

However, the conversation progressed onto a gossip fest, they threw around information concerning other madams. Su Liya initially found their conversation interesting since their gossip provided some necessary information on the other members of the upper-class families of Ningzhuo, but it got tiring. 

It was like she had been seated here for ages, she was tired of their aimless conversation and desperately needed little rescue. She was very happy when Ah Lan reported that the governor was waiting in her room. It was just the right excuse that she needed to get out of this situation.
