Just as Ji Mingzhu had anticipated, Xie Yunzhen would leave early and return late every day, so busy that he seemed to never touch the ground.
Xi Yu was also nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for him returning to the mansion to rest at night, she would have suspected Xi Yu had left Yanzhou.
Without the need to entertain guests, Ji Mingzhu only needed to eat well, drink well, rest well, and focus on nurturing her pregnancy every day.
No one in the mansion pressured her, allowing her to be as comfortable as she pleased.
As the days warmed and it became the season for lighter clothing, Ji Mingzhu received a letter from the capital.
The letter first reached Xie Yunzhen.
Busy with official duties, Xie Yunzhen couldn't find the time to leave, so he sent someone to deliver it to the main courtyard.
At that time, Ji Mingzhu had just finished her dinner and returned from a walk in the garden.
Lan Ci had ranked first in the imperial examination.
