He never expected that his grandson, who had frequented brothels with the Wan and Qin families for so many years and had seen all sorts of beautiful and talented women, would actually bring someone into his house after returning from a bandit suppression trip.
Grandpa Xie narrowed his eyes, hoping that Shu Yun's identity was not a problem. While his grandson was interested in women, he might be able to hold their Xie family's great-grandson.
Shu Yun never expected that when she chose a house, the Xie family patriarch would even start considering the name of his future great-grandson.
Her room was now bustling with servants and maids. The once somewhat empty room was quickly filled with the addition of a glass bottle here and a small armchair there.

He straightened his sleeves and glanced up to see Shu Yun in a Hu-style skirt.
She stood there calmly, letting the maids arrange her elaborate clothes. Her expression was indifferent, as if she was used to being served. She had the air of a person in a superior position, but she did not show any majesty. She was just aloof and unapproachable.
