There were voices outside, and Fan glared at her daughter Gan Huanyu meaningfully.
Gan Huanyu had fallen in love with He Zhengchu since she had met him once. At this moment, meeting her mother's warning gaze, Gan Huanyu blushed, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
The guests arrived one after another. Everyone had to go to the main courtyard to pay their respects to Old Madam Han first, and then go to the courtyard where guests were received.
Wan Shan'er also came with her mother Gao. Gao had lost her previous arrogance and was very low-key in everything from her dress to her tone of voice.
After the mother and daughter paid their respects, Gao looked around and said, "The old lady's place is still so lively. I guess the flower hall is also very lively. I have to go and take a look."

Gao nodded and said, "You can go to the flower hall. If you need anything, I can help you."
