Zhou Shuren thought to himself that Sir Xiao's words must surely reflect the Emperor's intentions. He could finally return to the Ministry of Revenue. Although it was mentally taxing, it kept him away from unnecessary troubles.
Having just returned to the capital, he had quite a few visitors, but to Zhulan's surprise, Madam Yu from the Duke Residence came, and she did not come alone.
The woman accompanying Madam Yu entered and began looking around, which displeased Zhulan greatly.
Because of the marriage connection and the fact that Madam Yu was a granddaughter-in-law of the Duke Residence, Zhulan held back her feelings and invited the two of them to have some tea.
