Wufu learned from Jin Xi that Lady Liang had been inquiring covertly about her working here, which didn't surprise her. After all, her presence here as a girl, and the way she carried herself, was bound to raise suspicions.
The days ahead for her and her mother would be much easier, a world apart from the past, and that was sure to arouse suspicion as well. Now that she had a cover story, it was time for everyone to know that the good days she was enjoying were earned through her own skills.
Keeping in mind what she had discussed with Shopkeeper Lin, Wufu left the Silver House and headed to the grain shop first, purchasing 30 pounds of rice and 20 pounds of fine flour. She planned to store some grain just in case.
Fortunately, she had been training every day, so carrying a 50-pound load of grain didn't faze her. She walked steadily, without a flushed face or shortness of breath, leaving the shop assistants in amazement.
