Gu Jinyu held the ginseng soup on the tray without uttering a sound.
The little maid complained, "On such a hot day, the second young lady actually went into the kitchen to make ginseng soup for her mother and even burned her hand. What has that mistress done? As soon as she arrives, the mistress takes such a biased stand..."
"Enough, she is my sister who has suffered a lot. It's only right that mother cherishes her." After saying this, Gu Jinyu left with a despondent air.
For several consecutive days, nobody in the mansion brought up the matter about returning to the Capital City. The villa seemed to return to peaceful and auspicious days.
Only when a pair of horses and a carriage arrived at the villa, did they disturb the peace that had lasted for many days.
The lord of the Gu family, dressed in official attire, tidied up and personally awaited the other party's arrival at the villa's main entrance door.
