"Miss, Nan Song is back."
Gu Yunshu closed the account book and said, "Let him in quickly."
Soon, a man in his twenties dressed in shorts and with a short knife on his waist entered the room.
"Have they returned to Beijing?"
Nan Song lowered his voice, "They returned to the city yesterday afternoon. The Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, their adopted son and daughter, and Crown Prince Yu's mother have all returned to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion and will not enter the palace until tomorrow. Crown Prince Yu and the Ninth Prince Dongjun have returned to the Imperial West Garden."
Gu Yunshu asked, "What about the prince?"
"The prince did not return to the Xianwang Mansion yesterday. I learned from the Xianwang Mansion's servants when I delivered Jintailou's special dishes to the prince that the prince returned to the Nanfang Mansion in the city. Forty years ago, that place was the residence of Dongfang Yao, a wealthy businessman from Dongjun."

"Okay, I got it. Go to the main kitchen and order your favorite dishes."

Nan Yin said, "Miss, it's only half an incense stick until lunch time. How about eating first and then continue checking the accounts?"
Gu Yunshu glanced at the remaining account books and said, "Okay, let's eat first. Let's go serve the food."

Soon, a familiar fragrance entered my nose.
Gu Yunshu stood up with a start. She had smelled this smell last night.
Could it be that the little girl came to Jintai Building for dinner?
While he was thinking, the voice of the shopkeeper Fang Zhou rang out from outside. "Young master, please come this way."
Little nobleman?
Gu Yunshu hurried to the door and saw Xiao Xier's face through the crack.
It’s her!
The child who looked into her eyes in the golden chariot that day.
Her son's adopted daughter!
Xiao Xier glanced at the private room where Gu Yunshu was, and walked into the private room opposite.
"Sister Yunshuang, it's too hot, no need to close the door."
She wanted to make sure that when the beautiful sister came out from the opposite side, she could see her true face at a glance.
