Li Ji entered the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, ignoring the servants' bows and greetings as he made his way straight to the rear courtyard.
At that moment, Hua Manman and Princess Rouwan were sitting in the flower hall, admiring the chrysanthemums.
After a period of rest, Princess Rouwan was able to get out of bed, though she still looked quite pale.
The autumn chrysanthemums were in brilliant bloom, their petals layered upon one another in a myriad of different colors, creating a lively sight.
Princess Rouwan could list off the varieties of these chrysanthemums as if they were family treasures, casually recounting the origin and characteristics of each one. Hua Manman didn't know anything about flowers and plants, but she listened with rapt attention.
"Manman."
Hearing someone call her name, Hua Manman stood up and looked toward the sound. Her eyes lit up when she saw Li Ji striding in.
