Fang Qianyu had more or less figured out who in this household could be relied on and trusted, and who was the old fox.
Fang Qianyu rubbed her stomach, which had started to growl, and said to Tongling, "Tongling, I'm hungry."
Hearing Fang Qianyu say she was hungry, Tongling immediately had someone prepare food, then began helping Fang Qianyu get dressed and made up.
Fang Qianyu stood there obediently, letting Tongling fuss over her. Once Tongling was done, Fang Qianyu saw Lou Qianyu's face in the mirror.
Lou Qianyu wasn't exactly a great beauty, but there was a certain spark in her eyes. Fang Qianyu thought that if Lou Qianyu were a normal girl, she would become a brilliant scholar.
Still, Fang Qianyu preferred Lou Qianyu as she was now: silly, carefree, and happy every day.
After eating, Fang Qianyu felt that staying cooped up in the room any longer would make her moldy. So she used that as an excuse to coax Tongling into taking her out for a walk around the courtyard.
