Su Zhen was sitting alone in her room at that moment, still thinking about the conversation between Han Zhi and Bao Zheng, while Yueping stood nearby to wait on her. For some reason, a heavy, suffocating feeling lingered in her chest.
Sensing that something was amiss, Yueping stepped forward gently to refill her cup of warm tea and said in a soft voice, "Madam, if you are feeling troubled, you might as well share it with Yueping. Voicing it might make you feel a bit more at ease. Do not keep it all bottled up inside—it will harm your health, and then Master would surely scold Yueping."
Su Zhen took the teacup, took a small sip, and sighed lightly. "I can't even put my finger on it, but for some reason, I feel inexplicably uneasy. You know Husband is discussing matters with Elder Bāo, and with the imperial examinations so close, I am only hoping everything goes smoothly for him. I just worry whether this matter might affect him."
