Wan Lu and Madam Xing directed the maids to begin cleaning the He Ya Inn. Originally seated, Ran Yan found herself in the way and stood in the corner, only to be eventually "herded" to the center of the room by Madam Xing.
There, she was underfoot, wanting to help with something. She had just bent down to pick up a rag when a maid respectfully took it from her, asking where she hadn't wiped clean.
Thus, the legendary forensic doctor Miss Ran completely became an ornament in the room.
The entire household was busy cleaning, including the garden's meticulous pruning and tidying, and Ran Yan found herself in the same situation everywhere she went.
"Wife, I just saw Doctor Liu come in," Wan Lu said as she walked by Ran Yan, carrying a basin of water, casually speaking.
Ran Yan stepped aside and asked, "What did he come for?"
