At the Zhou residence, Zhulan bade her guests farewell—it was time for lunch. The morning's conversations had been plentiful, leaving her spirit particularly weary. Zhulan felt somewhat listless, "I really am getting old; just a morning's worth of activities, and I'm drained."
Xue Han looked at the wrinkles at the corner of her mother's eyes and felt a pang of distress, "Mother."
Zhulan tried to eat a couple more bites but couldn't continue, "You all have been busy all morning too. Eat your meal and go back to rest."
With that, Zhulan stood up, ready to lie down for a while.
Once in her room, although Zhulan was tired, she couldn't fall asleep; she lay there thinking about Yushuang's marital prospects. With the changes in the Zhou family, Yushuang, who wasn't betrothed yet, would become a target. It was only fortunate that both Yu Die and Yu Yi were still young.
