And So the Days Pass, Part II
Zhou Lihua followed Zhou Wen with a blank face as the woman led her to the hospital wing. The attendant had her sit down on the bed, and then she had to wait for their female doctor to come in.
“You’ve been spending an awful lot of time at the palace, Young Miss,” said Zhou Wen.
Zhou Lihua shrugged. “I only had a month left here. Of course, I wanted to spend my remaining time with my friend.”
“That is understandable. Just don’t forget your duties to our clan.”
“Of course.”
Zhou Lihua often wondered if Zhou Wen was aware of what she got up to when she visited Hou Jingshu and Wu Jian, but there was no way she could know. Hou Jingshu’s residence was isolated to prevent spying. The servants who worked in the royal palace were also very loyal. She might have some theories, but that was all they would be. Zhou Wen could not accuse her of betraying the clan without incontrovertable proof.
