She lifted her eyes, scanning the courtyard, her gaze suddenly stopping on a figure moving in the distance. Unsure, she said, "Mom, I think that's Second Sister-in-law."
Zhou Qi followed her gaze, squinting until the figure came close enough to distinguish, "Axuan, are you heading out?"
"Mm, Mom, Arong, you're back," Zhao Xuan replied with a small smile.
"Second Sister-in-law, we just visited sister," An Rong said deliberately.
"Really?" Zhao Xuan's face was calm, "How's she been? I've been too busy to visit her these days, but once things settle down in a few days, I'll visit her."
"Perfect then, sister wanted us to relay a message to you." An Rong smiled, her eyes closely observing for any changes in Zhao Xuan's expression.
Zhao Xuan paused, "A message for me?"
What's An Man up to now?
"Mm, she said there's something she wants to discuss with you," An Rong replied.
"Did she tell you what it's about?" Zhao Xuan concealed her apprehension with feigned confusion.
