The following day, Zhulan was still anticipating Liu's next move, but Liu fell silent. Later, she realized that Liu dared not stir up rumors; it would be too easy to trace them back to her, especially with the Min family's current predicament not looking too favorable.
Zhulan had received news that the fourth Miss Min had entered the capital. It was said that she had sought instruction from a female historian who had been released from the palace, an intention all too clear.
At this critical juncture, the Min family dared not openly offend the Zhou family.
Zhulan felt relieved, knowing she could relax for a while. After all, marrying someone into the family was much less trouble than marrying someone out.

Because Granny Song was there, Zhou Shuren pressed his brow, "Today I received the officials from the newly established two departments; I am quite tired."
