Upon seeing Mrs. Xu, Yun Huai stood up and made a bow.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said, "Master Yun, there's no need for such formality, please have a seat."
Once Yun Huai was seated, she also moved to her own position at the head, "I've heard from my daughter that you provided much care and escort on their journey back to the Capital. As a woman, I really don't know how to thank you. Perhaps you could stay at our mansion for a few more days, until you've recuperated, and then make further plans, how about that?"
Yun Huai replied, "Mrs. Xu, you're too kind. I was entrusted by the Marquis to escort Miss Xu back to the Capital, and I still have matters to attend to, so I cannot stay at your esteemed mansion. I hope you understand."
Though his tone was gentle, Mrs. Xu could discern that this was someone accustomed to giving orders over many years.
