Upon hearing Xiuyi announce that Huangfu Jue had arrived, Qian Xueying was instantly invigorated.

"The Duke has also brought flowers and fruit to visit you, to see how your injuries are doing!" Xiuyi said with a smile.
"Humph!" Qian Xueying immediately revealed a triumphant smile and waved the maid, who had been scolded until she cried, to stand up. No sooner had the maid risen than Qian berated her again, "Wipe your eyes clean. If the Duke happens to see that you've been crying, be careful, or I'll have the police take you away as a thief tomorrow."
Terrified, the maid's face went as white as paper; she hurriedly picked up the breakfast tray and meekly left the room.
