The housemaids were doing chores in the living room on the first floor, arranging flowers.
They even hummed a local folk tune, their mood light and cheerful.
Miss Xia arrived, and Mr. Xia's mood brightened as well.
In the past six months, whenever Mr. Xia returned from the Diamond Mine empty-handed, he would be in a foul mood, leaving the housemaids anxious and afraid, lest they do something wrong and provoke Mr. Xia's thunderous rage.
But today, Mr. Xia didn't sleep all night and was busy until dawn when he finally came home. Yet, from the moment he stepped through the door, his face was full of sunny smiles.
A housemaid was polishing a vase and glanced out the window at the scenery—
She suddenly stopped what she was doing, and the tune she was humming died on her lips as she saw something.
The other housemaids found this odd and followed her gaze...
Mr. Jiang, who returned with Miss Xia yesterday... appeared out of thin air!
He materialized in the garden!
