Ye Shiqi and her elder sisters were appraised by an old eunuch, a being both man and not. Although his gaze wasn't lecherous, it was still difficult to look him in the eye.
She pondered what the purpose behind the old eunuch's scrutinizing gaze might be.
The old housekeeper, faced with the situation, stepped forward to invite Chief Eunuch Li to sit in the living room.
Then he had a maid serve Chief Eunuch Li chrysanthemum honey tea.
Ye Shiqi continued to observe the Eunuch Chief. Just like in the dramas she had seen in her past life, his appearance was masculine, but he spoke with a somewhat feminine tone and even affected a dainty finger pose.
It seemed it wasn't an exaggeration of the dramatists' description of how eunuchs spoke; he simply was in such a state naturally, adopting an even more feminine demeanor than women themselves.
It felt somewhat incongruous, yet it was impossible not to understand, nor dare one laugh in his presence.
