"She is in a trance and repeated the question for several times. She looks pale as if she has lost her soul..." Yun Shang couldn't help but frown and a question kept looping in her mind. "Why did lady Liu come to my mansion to look for me? What did she want?"
Lady Hua Guo also had a frown on her face, as if she was lost in thought.
Yun Shang waved to the butler and asked him to leave. The Butler bowed to them again and retreated to the door. When he was about to turn around and leave, something suddenly came to his mind. He stopped and turned around in a hurry. He said to Yun Shang, "by the way, your ladyship, there is something strange. A few days ago, a little beggar brought a box and wanted to give it to your ladyship. He said someone ordered him to do so."
"A box?" Yun Shang looked up at the butler and asked, "what's that box?"
The Butler quickly answered, "Your Highness, you were not home. So I'll put the box away and I will fetch it for you right away."
Yun Shang nodded her head. Then the Butler left in a hurry to get the box for her.
Yun Shang turned to look at Lady Hua Guo, confusion evident in her eyes. "The Butler said that lady Liu wanted to tell me something. But I'm not familiar with her, so what is it?"
Lady Hua Guo was also confused. "I don't know either. And I can't think of anything. As she is gone, we can't find a way to ask her anymore. But you can find a way to ask the maid who served her before. She must have brought a maid with her when she came here that day. Maybe the maid has known it. "
Yun Shang nodded her head slightly when she heard what she said, and pondered. "But it's still a bit difficult to find a maid in the Liu clan and secretly bring her out."
Yun Shang thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out why lady Liu wanted to see her and what she wanted to tell her. So she put it aside for now.
After a while, the Butler brought the box over. It was about half a foot long and two inches wide. Yun Shang was about to take it when Lady Hua Guo clapped her hand. "How dare you accept a thing you have no idea about?" Then she glared at Yun Shang and ordered someone to take a cloth to cover the whole body. After that, the person opened the box for them.
