Ruan Yu returned to her room after she left Xia Muqing's courtyard. Xia Churan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw her and rushed out to welcome her.
She asked anxiously, "Mother, what did she say?"
Ruan Yu patted her hand, signaling her to enter the room first.
Xia Churan looked at the servants around her. She knew that she was being a little anxious, but the rumors in the city were very unfavorable to her now. Her reputation had been damaged, and she could only place all her hopes on King Zhennan.
After Ruan Yu entered the room, she dismissed all the servants and said, "Xia Muqing agreed to let you enter the King's residence—"
Xia Churan pressed on anxiously, "Why would she agree? Did she demand something?"
Ruan Yu shook her head. "The problem is that she didn't state any conditions. She even offered to invite King Zhennan to our house tomorrow to discuss it with him."
Xia Churan's eyes widened as well. What was going on?
