He was extremely satisfied with Xie Yu.

Good family background, good looks, good education, good moral character, and a promising future... Madam Liu immediately whispered to Liu Yiyi, "Don't be rude to Brother Xie later."

Liu Yiyi said, "Brother Xie is so kind. He has no airs at all. When I play at the Xie residence, Brother Xie Yu always brings us rare and delicious food. Once, I accidentally broke one of his orchids in the garden of the Xie residence, but he didn't say a harsh word to me."

Madam Liu was overjoyed to hear this and whispered, "Then why didn't you tell your mother when you returned to the manor?"

"Oh, what's the big deal about such a small matter? Brother Xie Yu has been very kind to all of us."

"How many of you?"

"Oh, it's these girls!"

Madam Liu was bewildered. Who exactly had Xie Zhaozhao chosen as her sister-in-law?

On the other side, Li Ranran also stole glances at Xie Yu, her shy girlish heart in turmoil.

She had never thought about these things before, but Li Yunmu said, "Little sister, you're almost seventeen. Don't stay at home and become an old maid."

She wanted to, but what woman would find a husband for herself?

She enjoyed playing with Xie Zhaozhao, which gave her the chance to catch a glimpse of Xie Yu. Just one look at him brought her both joy and heartache for a long time.

Zhou Tangtang glanced at Xie Yu a few times, then looked away. She instructed the servants to unload the things, park the carriage, and have the maids and servants take good care of her mother.

"Mother, let's go to the main hall to offer incense, set out the scriptures, and hand over the donated items to the abbot. Let's settle in first."

Princess Consort Kang smiled and said, "You've been handling everything in the household. You're very thoughtful. Your mother doesn't like to worry about things. You can handle it."

Of these five noble ladies, apart from Liu Yiyi who is innocent and carefree, the other four are all extremely capable, any one of whom could easily serve as the mistress of a household.

After handing over the donated silver and goods to the abbot, everyone washed their hands and faces, and a monk in the temple led the chanting of scriptures.

They chanted scriptures while beating drums and chimes.

After the ceremony, everyone returned to the guest hall to rest.

Xie Zhaozhao was enshrining her deceased mother's memorial tablet at Huguo Temple. She and Xie Yu were on their way to pray for their mother when they saw Gu Shaoyu walking in with the abbot from the entrance of Huguo Temple.
