When Ye Guixue returned to the Duke Residence, the sky was not yet fully dark.
He coincidentally ran into Lu Weiran at the entrance, who asked in surprise, "Cousin, didn't you send word that you had an appointment tonight? Why did you come back so early? Did you miss it? Do you intend to get ready at home and go again?"
"I went earlier." Ye Guixue shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Lu Weiran said, "At this time, Cousin, have you had dinner yet?"
Ye Guixue nodded.
Lu Weiran immediately replied, "That's just perfect, Mother was planning a farewell banquet for you tonight. She was regretting not having it yesterday when she heard you wouldn't return for dinner. But now that you've returned early, it couldn't be better. I will send someone to notify her."
Ye Guixue nodded, "Very well."
Lu Weiran promptly dispatched someone to inform the Duchess.
