The atmosphere in the Qin Mansion was tense, with maids and old women walking softly, holding their steps for a quarter of an hour before daring to put them down, fearing they might disturb the people in the backyard.
Xiqiu arrived with Nanny Cen at the grass cottage named "Old Residence" by Second Master Qin, stopping in front of the courtyard where maids and old women were scurrying around like headless flies. Despite the chaos, it was unusually quiet that even the rustling sound of leaves stirred by the breeze could be heard.
Xiqiu was about to enter, when suddenly the curtain of the side room was lifted, initially revealing a corner of a dark orchid robe, and then the person stepped out with a stride. The eyebrows were beautifully outlined, the face pale, lips red—it was indeed Qin Yuanfeng.
