章節 323: Chapter 303, Taohua Village_1

Yan Zhigao was indeed busy, and after everyone in the Yan Family had dined at the old Madam's courtyard, he still had not returned.

Daohua and Yan Wenxiu had originally intended to pay their respects on their first day back, but it had gotten dark without any sign of him, so Madam Li had them rest for the night.

At the crack of dawn the next day, when the sky was still dim, Daohua arrived at the main courtyard.

Madam Li was already up, but Yan Zhigao was still asleep.

"Why are you up so early?" Madam Li asked her daughter in surprise.

Lowering her voice, Daohua said, "Mother, have you forgotten? I'm going with Third Uncle to Shahe County to look at the land today."

Madam Li said, "There's no need to rise this early though."

Daohua replied, "Third Uncle said the earlier we go, the earlier we can return. We don't know what might cause delays along the way."

Madam Li nodded and had Ping Tong bring a bowl of almond tea, "Have something to eat first."
