The next day, He Yuan woke up quite early. After getting cleaned, he went over to pay his respects to the matriarch. He was supposed to have breakfast in Cao Long's courtyard with Cao Long, Cao Luomei and Cao Feng.
And after that, he had to go over to the isolation courtyard. Wan Ruo had sent a servant to him with the message that she wanted to see her child.
Once he was let into the great hall where the matriarch received people, he realized that everybody else, except Wan Ruo, was present.
There were also two new faces. The matriarch's distant cousin from her mother's side and the said cousin's grown up daughter. Just like before, the matriarch was already getting ready to push another noble lady unto her only son.
The matriarch would most likely use Wan Ruo's misdemeanor as an excuse but no one was stupid. Wan Ruo was confined the day before and these two arrived today.
