Chapter 101: Chapter 88, Noble Guest Arrives_1

Yan Zhigao faced exclusion at the Prefectural Governor's Office, and Madam Li was also alienated by the ladies of prominent families in Xingzhou. There were many gatherings such as poetry parties and flower-viewing events from which the Yan Family was not invited.

One day, after Daohua finished her lessons, Madam Li was instructing her in embroidery when Yan Zhigao, drenched in sweat, returned from the front office.

"Where have you been, My Lord? Why are you soaked in sweat?" As Madam Li spoke, she walked towards Yan Zhigao to help him take off his official robes.

Yan Zhigao sighed, "The rainy season has arrived, and I am concerned about the dikes within my jurisdiction, so I went to check on them."

It was now June, and the weather had become extremely hot. After running around outside all day, his inner shirt was soaked through.

Daohua felt uncomfortable staying inside the room and walked out. Thinking of her adoptive father who had gotten tanned, she felt uneasy.
