The heavy vermilion-painted gates of Chen Mansion were slowly pulled open to reveal a crack by someone from the inside.
A servant peeked out through the crack and saw Chen Ji, then immediately closed the gate again.
Chen Ji did not urge them but waited quietly in front of the gate.
He heard the servant call out from behind the gate, "Housekeeper, housekeeper! The Third Young Master has returned, what should we do?"
Footsteps could be heard from inside, and the housekeeper frowned, "How many times do I have to tell you, there are only two young masters in the Chen family. Where did this Third Young Master come from?"
A moment later, the vermilion gates were once again opened, just wide enough for one person. The housekeeper stood in the opening, sizing up Chen Ji from head to toe.
Finally, his gaze settled on the blue bundle on Chen Ji's shoulder, "You... how have you come back?"
