Xiao Ruo thought it was a fellow villager who had come to visit and so said to Chun Yu, who was standing by the door, "Open the door."
To their surprise, as Chun Yu opened the door, they saw a strange man. She instinctively stood guard at the entrance to block the man's view inside, but asked politely, "May I ask whom you are looking for?"
"Young lady, may I inquire if this is the home of Young Master Zhiwen of the Fu Family?" the man asked obsequiously.
Chun Yu sized up the man, a conjecture forming in her mind, yet her eyes carried full of confusion as she asked, "And you are?"
"Young lady, we have come from Hengzhou City. My Old Madam tasked me to deliver a year-end gift to Young Master Zhiwen," the man said, gesturing towards two carriages not far away, "This is the place, hurry and bring the things over."
Soon after, Chun Yu watched as two carriages pulled up to the door and quickly turned to consult Fu Hanwen and Xiao Ruo.
