The news of Miss Wu's arrival quickly spread throughout the Marquis Mansion.
After casually settling the guests, Cui Xuan had just returned to her courtyard when she saw a young woman in a plain-colored skirt standing there.
Her features were gentle, yet her brow was furrowed with worry. It was Cui Bai's wife, the Young Madam of the Marquis Mansion.
"Mother-in-law."
Qiao Si bowed to greet her.
Cui Xuan liked this daughter-in-law and also felt sorry for her; she took hold of her cold hands.
"Why are you waiting outside? What if you catch a cold, how would that be good?"
While speaking, she inevitably chastised the servants in the courtyard.
"The Young Madam is standing there and you didn't think to invite her in? Are you all blind? If something happened to her, you would be held responsible."
Qiao Si supported Cui Xuan as they walked towards the house.
"Mother-in-law, please don't blame them. I was the one who insisted on waiting outside."
She said softly.
