Tianshuang Courtyard
It had taken Guo Yuqi's servants several days, but they finally managed to clean and tidy up the Tianshuang Courtyard.
Thus, Guo Yuqi instructed her maid, Yan Xue, to take Ji Ruyan back to live in the Tianshuang Courtyard.
Returning to the Tianshuang Courtyard once more, Ji Ruyan found the once dilapidated courtyard was now spotless and well ordered.
Even the rotten tables and chairs had been replaced.
Sitting in the main hall, Ji Ruyan gazed at the courtyard, which looked as it did in old times, and memories flooded back.
There was nothing on the distant table.
Yet, she could remember that spot used to be occupied by a seven-stringed zither.
Her mother loved to play the zither, even going so far as to play for six hours every day.
The sound of the zither was enchanting and melodious.
Unfortunately, she did not have such a gift; on the contrary, it was Xuexue who delighted in the sound of the zither.
