Ah Jiu didn't find it too surprising to see Liu Jin arrive alone, but she did become somewhat curious when she heard him say that Miss Wufu was busy with something.
"What is your mistress so busy with that she can't even bring you, her servant, along?" Ah Jiu asked with a smile.
Liu Jin said, "This time, when we left the county town, only I came with the mistress. Now, because she is tied up with some trivial matters, she couldn't come and specifically sent me to deliver the message."
He didn't say what Wufu was busy with.
"When did you start following your mistress?" Ah Jiu asked again.
The last time I saw her, this guy wasn't around. When did she get herself a male servant?
"It's been a month or two."
Ah Jiu laughed and, picking up her tea cup, said, "Take him down and serve him some snacks before he leaves."
Yuan Ye immediately had someone escort Liu Jin out and then returned to Ah Jiu's side to attend to her.
