It was late April.
Xing Yusheng took Lin Xueqing to Duke Qin's Mansion early in the morning, and they happened to bump into Old Master Qin as he was leaving.
He had agreed with Lin Shuzhi to go fishing at a beautiful lakeside spot in the city.
"Miss Qing, has your second brother sent a letter?" Old Master Qin asked cheerfully.
Lin Xueqing shook her head, "There have been no letters these days. However, my eldest brother said that the emperor has approved my second brother's return to the capital to get married."
"He'd better not be late; otherwise, I'll have to hit him with my cane for making Yujin worry all the time," Old Master Qin said with a smile, walking out the door with steady steps, not needing anyone to support him.
When Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing found Qin Yujin, she was sitting in a pavilion in the Garden, gazing blankly and pulling at a flower, with petals scattered all over the ground.
Lin Xueqing took the flower away, "It didn't offend you."
