Indeed, for over a decade Lady Tang had considered herself the Main Wife at the General's Mansion, enjoying all the glory and riches. She never acted like the concubines in other households, who rose before dawn to wait outside of the Main Wife's room, to serve her tea and pay respects after she woke up.
Xuexue knew that Lady Tang didn't rise early; after all, she didn't intend to take her life outright. She simply said, "There's no hurry, let's wait a bit longer!"
"Miss, why don't I take care of this matter instead?"
"There's no need."
"Are you personally going to do it, miss? That might not be good. If they catch on to you, it could be detrimental for you, miss."
"You are my person. If they catch you, do you think I, as your mistress, could escape blame?"
"I'll just be extra careful."
"Enough, I have my own plans for this matter, so don't say anymore," Xuexue said with a wave of her hand, not wishing to discuss further.
