In Canglan Court.
Xiao Qing got her period unexpectedly, and it was the first time she had ever experienced such a sensation.
She was fourteen years old, the right age for a girl to have her first menstrual cycle, so it was normal. However, there was no warning sign, no mental preparation for her at all.
She was aware of what a period was like; she had washed menstrual cloths for her mistress during her periods. Therefore, when she went to the latrine, she knew she wasn't just having diarrhea, but that her period had started.
But she didn't expect the period cramps to be so painful and unbearable. When her mistress had her periods, she acted as if nothing was wrong, only complaining about how menstrual belts were difficult to wash and inconvenient and how she couldn't sleep too soundly. The side effects didn't seem significant to her mistress, yet Xiao Qing's reaction was far too strong.
