Song Lianhe returned to her room, carrying a large armful of medicinal herbs.
She'd had a fruitful evening. She found some flowerpots and repotted the herbs with intact root systems. She figured she would go back to the garden first thing in the morning, mark off the area with the remaining herbs, and ask Mrs. E to look after them for her.
Keeping herself busy like this helped the frustrations she'd felt because of Zhou Cangyan fade considerably.
She couldn't help but sigh. 'Song Lianhe, oh Song Lianhe, you've even mastered the art of cheering yourself up. You really are easy to please!'
Meanwhile, when Zhou Junlin returned to their room, Song Xilan was already fast asleep.
He stood before the bed for a long moment before turning and heading to the study.
Gu Ha followed him. "Prince, it's so late. Are you still going to work on official matters? We're setting off tomorrow. You should get some rest."
Zhou Junlin said nothing and pushed open the study door.
