After Fu Yinli left, Su Lingzhi, as usual, learned tea art from Housekeeper Zhao in the backyard.
However, before the tea had begun to brew, a maid came to relay a message: "Miss, your mother is here."
Su Lingzhi was startled and quickly said, "Bring her in quickly."
Shortly thereafter, she heard their footsteps.
Su Lingzhi was already standing to wait and called out toward the courtyard entrance, "Mom."
Du Qin looked at the slender figure standing under the albizia flower, feeling a mix of emotions in her heart. She walked toward her and held her hand, "You look healthier than before."
A delicate and poised face was flushed with color, full of vitality, and her hand was warm.
Su Lingzhi smiled softly, "Did you come specifically to see me, Mom?"
"Yes, it's the weekend, so I made time to visit," Du Qin replied, "He's taking good care of you. Is he not here today?"
"No, he's not."
Du Qin then looked at Housekeeper Zhao standing to the side, "And you are?"
