Outside the Yongwang Mansion, people came in droves to visit her after learning of her return.
"Steward Guo, when will the princess have time to come out and see us?" There were stewards from official families and merchants.
Even a seventh-rank official can only come to pay a visit to the Yong Prince's mansion. Such a powerful and influential steward must have extraordinary knowledge and experience. In the past, when the powerful and influential people in the capital talked about the Yong Prince's mansion, they would laugh and listen attentively to the latest jokes from the mansion. When the young masters and ladies held a flower viewing party, they would use the latest news from the Yong Prince's mansion to lighten the atmosphere.
But things are different now. Nowadays, when the Yongwang Mansion is mentioned, everyone treats it with utmost respect and dares not utter a single bad word.
Xiao Guozi squinted, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He recalled chatting with Fu Da about his past. Fu Da had come from the palace and was originally a servant of the Empress Dowager.

"Princess, I will see you when I have time. You should all go back now, as the princess is still feeling unwell." Although he was a lowly official, he was always kind and friendly to people from other households who came to make friends with him.
The princess once said, "Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future. Don't offend people easily. If you can't stand someone, either eliminate them completely or never see them again."
After persuading most of the people to leave, Xiao Guozi was about to turn back when he was called out, "Xiao Guozi."
