They quickly arrived at Xu Mansion, and Lu Qingyi got out of the car, holding a box.
"Let me help you with that."
Xu Boyan reached out to take the box from Lu Qingyi.
"No need, I've got it."
Lu Qingyi shook her head and said, still holding the box.
The Xu Mansion was all quiet; not even a servant was in sight.
"My mother gave the housekeeper the day off."
Seeing Lu Qingyi's confusion, Xu Boyan explained.
Gu Xiang wanted to spend some quality time with her future daughter-in-law, so she had sent away all the servants and housekeepers. She had even cooked the meals herself.
"Did the auntie prepare all the meals by herself today?"
Lu Qingyi asked Xu Boyan in surprise.
In the novels she had read, if a future in-law sent away the servants and cooked meals themselves for their son's girlfriend, it either meant they did not want to deal with potential embarrassment in front of servants, or they held the girlfriend in great regard. She was unclear about which one was her case.
