Steward Cao agreed and bowed out, heading straight to the inn to pick up the guests.
After sitting for a while, Huo Yuan got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he smiled at Du Yu Lang, the eldest grandson standing behind Du Yongzhi, "Could I be fortunate enough to have Young Master Yulang accompany me for a bit?"
Duke An immediately replied, "Young Master Huo is too polite. It's Yulang's privilege to receive your personal instruction; he's truly blessed. Yulang, go with Young Master Huo and send him off properly."
Left with no choice, Du Yu Lang had to follow him. He came back after a long period, and no one knew what Huo Yuan had said to him; his face was incredibly pale when he returned.
Precisely at noon, Mu Zhongqing's family finally arrived, much awaited by the Duke An's household.
To show his regard for the concubine's family, Duke An had ordered his entire family to wait in the Flower Hall to meet them one-by-one.
