Xiao Ziyue knew that she was coming and had already gotten someone to wait at the entrance of the manor. When the maidservant saw the four carriages, she guessed that they belonged to the Young Master Manor. She hurriedly walked forward with a smile. “I, Lingzhi, greet the Princely Heir Consort!”

Jiang Hai stopped the carriage and took a wooden stool to place it properly. Fu Ling alighted first and helped Yu Wan off the carriage.

Yu Wan looked at this smart little maidservant. She was Xiao Ziyue’s personal maidservant, whom she had seen at Prince Cheng Manor last time. She had even sent her trusted aide over, which showed Xiao Ziyue’s sincerity.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Don’t be so polite.”

Lingzhi chuckled and greeted Fu Ling. “Sister Fu Ling!”

Fu Ling said seriously, “You’re older than me.”

The maidservants had long exchanged names and ages in the Prince Cheng Manor. This girl only looked petite, but she was a year older than Fu Lingg. The reason why she addressed her that way was because she respected Fu Ling.

Why couldn’t this silly girl understand? Besides, looking at her size, Fu Ling was two to three times bigger than her.

The stocky Fu Ling protected her Princely Heir Consort and entered the manor, leaving only the confused Lingzhi behind. “…”

Yu Wan instructed Lingzhi and first went to the main courtyard to visit Shangguan Yan. Shangguan Yan’s relationship with Eldest Mrs. Xiao was neither cold nor indifferent, but she was quite close to Xiao Ziyue. She knew that Xiao Ziyue had invited Yu Wan.

Shangguan Yan was looking at this month’s account book in the room when she saw the little maidservant, Xingzhu, run in excitedly. “Madam! The Princely Heir Consort is here!”

Shangguan Yan put down the account book. “Invite her in.”

“I did!” Xingzhu said with a smile. She opened the curtain and Yu Wan walked into the room.

Shangguan Yan smiled at her.

Yu Wan went forward and bowed. “Mother.”

The word “mother” stunned Shangguan Yan. Fortunately, she did not really lose her composure. Shangguan Yan smiled happily and pulled her to sit down on a stool. “Xingzhu, go get a basin of water. Also, bring two more basins of ice from the room.”

“Aye!” Xingzhu left happily.

This was not Yu Wan’s first time entering the Xiao Manor, but it was her first time entering Shangguan Yan and Xiao Zhenting’s courtyard. She originally thought that it would be as golden and resplendent as Shangguan Yan’s carriage, but she did not expect the folding stones, water, and bamboo pavilion to have a different feeling of elegance and tranquility.

Shangguan Yan looked behind Yu Wan. “Where are the children? They didn’t come with you?”

Yu Wan said, “It’s hot in the Capital. They went to the countryside to avoid the heat.”

Shangguan Yan knew of a summer resort, but she understood that her son would not be at ease with her taking the children away. Shangguan Yan did not want to complain to her daughter-in-law, so she smiled and said, “Are you and Cong’er well?”

Yu Wan said, “Pretty good. The Princely Heir attends court every day and is very diligent in the cabinet.” It was unknown if he was diligent in handling official business or diligent in feeding the ministers sweetness.
