The two strolled all the way to their master's house.
The front door was open, but upon entering, they didn't see their master or mistress. Xinyan called out toward the bedroom inside, "Master, Mistress, we've arrived."
He Jinxuan placed the oranges Xinyan took out from the space onto the table behind the door and escorted Xinyan to the sofa. "You rest here for a bit. I'll go get you a glass of water."
Even after He Jinxuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Xinyan, the master and mistress still hadn't come out.
Xinyan felt that something was amiss. Normally, the master and mistress would at least respond upon hearing her voice, even if they couldn't come out. Yet quite a while had passed without any response.
She put down the water He Jinxuan handed her, stood up, and hurriedly walked toward the bedroom at the back.
Seeing Xinyan's urgency, He Jinxuan quickly followed. "Yanyan, slow down."
