Before dinner, Su Ji returned.
The butler got out of the car and went to the back to open the door for her.
Su Ji was holding something in her arms.
Du Meilan came out and saw the butler first. "Have you bought it? I forgot to tell you that there's a big pet shop behind the villa area."
The butler smiled modestly. "Madam, we didn't go to the pet shop. We went to the poultry market."
"...poultry market?!" Du Meilan's voice was one pitch higher.
She quickly looked at Su Ji, who was holding a white, furry, and a little yellow…substitute for a mandarin duck.

Du Meilan's timing was very accurate. At 9 o'clock in the evening, Pei Huai's car drove into the Pei family's courtyard.
When Pei Huai got out of the car, the whole family was gathered in the courtyard looking at something. It was only after a while that they noticed that he had returned.
