The next day at the Zhou Residence, the Zhao family did not arrive early. Zhao Bo's wife, Lady He, was well-informed about the Zhou family's rise to prominence. Following the steward, Lady He led her children to the main courtyard. She didn't dare to look around, estimating the distance to the main courtyard in her mind.
As Lady He walked, she grew increasingly pensive. Who would have thought that Zhou Shuren of so many years ago would become today's Marquis Zhou? The estate was enormous, and at this season when flowers were in full bloom, she passed by numerous blossoms, many of them rare varieties. She couldn't help but glance at her daughter beside her, steadying her emotions and no longer allowing herself to dwell further.
In the main courtyard, Zhulan and Lady Li were chatting when Steward Ding entered to report, prompting Zhulan to sit upright and signal for the visitors to be brought in.
