"Okay." Gu Heguang nodded, but couldn't help but admire Zhu Jiayu's caution.
Having received her kind words, Zhu Jiayu bid her farewell, got off the carriage, and returned to the Ji residence. He sat and talked with Qiu Lingyan and the others for a long time until the sun was setting and the green trees and red walls were bathed in the brilliant glow of the sunset. Only then did the ladies of the Qiu family come out of Changhuan Tower after watching the opera, and they boarded the carriages to go home.
Ji Huanjin, deeply affected by the blow, never showed her face again.
Qiu Mingyan blinked: "I bet she's still soaking in the pool right now. I suppose our little cousin won't be able to stand yellow for a long time."

Qiu Mingyan, who was listening from the side, almost rolled her eyes: Qiu Lingyan was probably the only one who could be so easily led astray by Zhu Jiayu.
