Qiao Xia felt like a fish in water at the Mu Family's home.
After the third day of the New Year, the Mu Family's Eldest Uncle and the second uncle returned to their respective posts. The Eldest Uncle went to visit the nation's people in the Northwest, one by one, to see their New Year's situation, and the second uncle returned to the military region. With two heavyweights gone, the atmosphere in the Mu Family home suddenly became lively. Peers and friends came in an unending stream to pay New Year visits. It was bustling until the seventh day, after which everyone returned to their homes, and Qiao Xia also started preparing for work.
Mu Liang and Qiao Xia returned home on the evening of the seventh day.
Spring blossomed and temperatures climbed; everything in A City was reviving with the post-New Year sunshine casting a warm glow on people, especially comforting. The evenings were noticeably cooler, yet still pleasant, as the harsh cold had finally passed.
