"You're back? What about that girl, Nanzhi?"
Under the shade of the trees in Taichu Hall, Pei Wanyu, playing chess with Huang Ningshang, glanced at the approaching Lu Jin'an with a gentle expression.
"She's returned to Qingmiao Palace."
Lu Jin'an said with a chuckle.
Seeing his light-footed gait, Pei Wanyu couldn't help but tease, "It seems you had a joyful time with Nanzhi."
"Indeed, revisiting the old places where everyone remains unchanged—is that not a blessing?"
Lu Jin'an sat on one side of the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, and glanced at the chessboard, "Mother-in-law, you're about to lose."
Huang Ningshang shot him a glance, "Stop talking, I won't lose."
Oh, she seems quite competitive with her Master?
Lu Jin'an raised an eyebrow, while Pei Wanyu continued to ask, "Did you escort Nanzhi back to Qingmiao Palace?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you take the chance..." Pei Wanyu paused, her eyes playful.
