Mu Xi Yao slowly used the soup without batting an eyelid. Who had said that each woman of the inner yard had her own a story? It was indeed accurate.

Lady Wan's expression just now carried a bone-deep hatred. Her resentment run quite deep. Mu Xi Yao looked at He Lian Min Min. She actually knew nothing?! It was interesting. Could it be that just as palace intrigues have been put into rest, the inner yard struggles are going to emerge? Mu Xi Yao leisurely speculated.

"Your Highness, qie has already made a proper arrangement for the people chief steward had recruited. Does your Highness want to take a look?" He Lian Min Min respectfully asked.

"Bendian has troubled you. Call them in!"

Mu Xi Yao looked at craftsmen attired in coarse hemp garments in front of her. After asking them few simple questions, she left behind only two gardeners to specially care for Danruo Courtyard's rare flowers and plants. The rest of them were assigned to each courtyard.

After coming out of the main house, Mu Xi Yao used the opportunity to propose bringing a few household servants from Mu House. The sixth Highness gave it no thought. He directly assented to the matter.

When Mu Xi Yao called to mind the date He Lian Min Min has specially raised to Zhong Zheng Lin, corners of her lips curled up.

"Your Highness, principal consort has specially selected the first day of the next month from auspicious dates submitted by imperial astronomer. Qie understands well the implication behind." That woman not only wanted to use the wine banquet to heighten Zhong Zheng Lin's libido. She, furthermore, wished to benefit from the cheerful atmosphere of housewarming and get pregnant. What a good scheme she had.

How could Zhong Zheng Lin not know? He squeezed her little hand and took her to the garden to walk for two circles.

On the afternoon of the next day, Gui momo came in to announce good news with a face filled with smiles.

"Mistress, delightsome news! The chief steward has passed a message. Master and madam will arrive at Songjiang port tonight. It's just a half-day drive. They will reach Shengjing at hour of Si tomorrow.

"They will arrive already in the morning tomorrow?!" Mu Xi Yao got up excitedly. Rocking the fan, she paced back and forth in the room.

"Unbeknownst, whether his Highness will have free time." Mu Xi Yao furrowed her brows and muttered to herself, somewhat impatient.

Gui momo chuckled. His Highness has already figured out she would have such a question.

"His Highness has sent news. Tomorrow, he will accompany cefei to Mu House and hold a reception fro sir Mu. He's also specifically ordered the chief steward to sent servant girls and manservants over to assist them. The residence was tidied up a long time ago. It's a three-courtyard house mistress is fond of. The garden and pavilion are quite elegant."

Mu Xi Yao smiled sweetly when she discovered how thoughtful and attentive was the sixth Highness. Lord Boss was too mighty. The benefit of hugging a thick thigh was indeed reliable!

"Tell Chu Lan to send third miss a message that a small sedan chair will be sent to pick her up tomorrow."

"Alas. This old servant will immediately go to do the task." When Gui momo heard that sir Mu will reach the capital soon, her joy was no less than that of Mu Xi Yao. Due to sir Mu's transfer, not only can she meet with her son and daughter-in-law, she can also see madam again. It was naturally a great news to her.

Ever since receiving second miss's news, shufei stayed silent and looked dazedly at vase, lost in her own thoughts. Rui Zhu was very puzzled about it. Since entering the fifth Highness's inner yard, they've never again seen master and madam. This time, yiniang will also come to the capital. Yet, why was there no joy in the mistress's face?
