Su Tiantian and Cheng Yun each entered different rooms. The servants efficiently completed their tasks and went to the butler to collect their bonuses.
Not even two minutes later, Su Tiantian screamed in panic, rushing out of her room. At the same time, Cheng Yun's door swung open. He caught hold of her in a rush, "What happened? What's wrong?"
"A...a rat..." Su Tiantian stammered, scared out of her wits.
Cheng Yun looked at her for a second, "Come to my room first."
He hadn't realized his tone had softened significantly. Su Tiantian glanced at him hesitantly, "Can I?"
"Come in."
Neither of them considered why no servant had come in despite the commotion.
After putting her two sons to sleep and tucking them into their cribs, Su Nian sat down by the bed. Looking at the sleeping children softened her heart, and the harsh thoughts she'd harbored seemed to dissipate inexplicably.
