He was sent just to pour some tea, and then he never came back?
"It was the butler who dragged me away, insisting on having a chat," Will replied.
"The butler?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Xiuyi, Qian Xueying's butler," Will answered.
Xiuyi?!
"What did he talk to you about?"
"Nothing much, just beating around the bush–a complete waste of time."
Although Will spoke casually, Huangfu Jue sensitively sensed something unusual. Frowning, he re-entered the restroom, quickly scanning the surroundings.
The maid inside was earnestly scrubbing the walls and floor with water. Seeing him enter, she hastily put away her tools and stepped aside.
"Duke, the restroom will require a little more time before it can be used."
Huangfu Jue's gaze swept over the drawers of the vanity cabinet.
"Did you touch my drawer?"
"No, no!" the maid immediately turned pale, "I only cleaned the walls and floor; I didn't touch anything else."
