After dinner, Ruyi was taken away by her wet nurse and maids to bathe and sleep. Xie Jue and Xie Xun headed to the study to drink tea, play chess, and talk. The New Year was nearing, and official duties were not busy. It was more a time to discuss family matters. The last time Xie Xun and Xie Jue met was in August, during the autumn harvest in West State when Xie Xun came by. Visiting Xie Jue and Ruyi was convenient, and now, their time spent together was rare, making them cherish these moments more.
