After leaving Min Ningwan's courtyard, Madam Ru bumped into Ji Minglou.
"Brother."
She greeted him.
"Hall Master."
Cai Lian bowed.
Ji Minglou nodded slightly and looked at Madam Ru. "Are you back to see Mother?"
"Yes." Madam Ru nodded.
She had relied on her brother since she was young. The first person she thought of when she encountered something was always her brother.
This was no exception.
However, as her mother's instructions flashed across her mind, she swallowed the urge to tell her brother about Yun Lin's background.
Ji Minglou looked at his sister's slightly haggard face and comforted her. "Don't take the rumors on the island to heart. The City Lord isn't that kind of person. He won't go to the Hundred Flowers Palace to have fun no matter what."
Madam Ru smiled bitterly in her heart.
