Chapter 0258 Clear and Methodical

Although Ye Zao was merely a concubine, when outsiders addressed her as "Madam," it was out of respect.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was pleased, Ye Gui exited with a smile.

Her elder sister had always been smarter than her even when they were in the boudoir; she knew how to make their mother-in-law happy. Everything she did was for her sake.

Upon Ye Gui's return, Qian Xianlin came from his study to meet her.

Seeing she had yet to change clothes or freshen up, he smiled and said, "This outfit suits you well."

"My lord," Ye Gui responded bashfully, bowing respectfully.

"Was it gifted by the Fourth Fujin?" Qian Xianlin inquired.

"Our sisterhood…" Ye Gui detailed cautiously, "there's hardly impropriety in gifts. I hadn't intended to stay so long. It was the Fourth Prince's suggestion that I spend more time with my sister, and so I joined her for lunch and rested for a while. Sister found clothes of her own for me to wear."

Of course, she had her own plans.
