Three days later, Zhulan was busy organizing the newly acquired estate. Fortunately, the Wen family didn't strip everything away—there was still a house and fifty acres of farmland left. Zhulan planned to use this estate for farming and animal husbandry.
Just as she was giving orders, Steward Ding came running in. "Madam, the Princely Heir and Young Master Ming Hui have returned."
Zhulan immediately stood up. "Oh, Chang Li hasn't written back for quite a while. I've been worrying in my heart. Quickly, prepare tea and refreshments—their journey must have been exhausting."
Steward Ding hurried away to make arrangements, while Lady Li had already bolted out of the door.
Halfway to the gate, Lady Li caught sight of her son. Tears began to flow down her face. "Oh, my dear Ming Hui! How did you become so thin? It breaks your mother's heart!"
