Since Yan Qing had mentioned yesterday at Ling Family's place to Ling Yunyang that he would visit the Zhang Family today, Ling Hua didn't have time to send a formal invitation. By the time she returned from Ling Family's residence yesterday, it was already late, not suitable for sending out invitations anymore. So today, they would directly bring gifts for the visit.
Marquis Duanjing's residence is near the Imperial City, a residence established during the Great Ancestor's foundation of the dynasty, while the Zhang Family did not rise to prominence during the Great Ancestor's era. It was only after Zhang Ke became a General that they gained status, so their residence is somewhat far from the Imperial City.
The carriage was halfway there when they encountered people from the Central Judicial Office.
Liuli said from inside the carriage, "Miss, it's the Lesser Minister Shen."
When encountering someone, it's natural to stop the carriage to exchange a few words.
