Ye Huaijin politely lowered his hand, one hand in front of him and the other behind his back, a truly elegant gentleman. His voice was like a gentle stream, "Madam has arrived at just the right time. It just so happens that Xun Yin is in the manor today. Please." He extended his hand from in front of him into the manor.
