You sit by the window and sigh as you watch the clouds.
Shi Lian: Miss, it's been the 23rd sigh in the last hour!
Xiu Ying: [Look to the sleeping baby] It's been a while since coming here. Although I send letters to my parents, they always reply that everything's fine. I quite miss them.
Shi Lian: Now that you mention it...I miss master and mistress too.
Xiu Ying: It'd be nice to go home for a while.
Shi Lian: The palace is so strict though. There's no way us maids can go in and out that early.
Xiu Ying: We'll figure our a way. It would be nice to visit just once.
With that thought, you begin asking for ways to visit home. Soon you learn that some maids have gone home through the Internal Affairs Bureau.
You come to the Internal Affairs Bureau asking about a visit, but the people there gave you a cold shoulder.

Eunuch: Want to go home after coming here? We don't allow that here!
Xiu Ying: I heard a of people have gone back home. Some even work in the Internal Palace Duties Bureau!
Eunuch: Lies! There's never been such a thing!
The eunuch shoos you away. You turn around feeling helpless.
Xiu Ying: (What if there's another way? Maybe I can do it with money? It might be a bit bothersome, but if it's got to be done.)
You turn back and just so happen to overhear the eunuch talking about you.
Eunuch: Hmph. I grew up with Cai Li and it's all thanks to that girl that Cai Li is being punished at the Hard Labour Camp. I'm going to take vengeance for Cai Li!
So the eunuch was intentionally sabotaging you. You get mad and rush inside.
Xiu Ying: So you are taking advantage of your position for personal reasons!
