After the departure of the just Teng Tianhan, Lord An returned to the main house. Seeing him back, Mrs. An stood up and dismissed the nanny by her side.
"Has Yunya gone?"
Lord An kicked off his wooden clogs and sat on the Arhat bed carved with the motif of "five blessings holding longevity," saying, "Yes, he has left. That boy has really given me a tough problem."
"How so?" Mrs. An handed him a cup of tea and also sat across from him at the kang table.
Lord An showed a helpless, bitter smile and talked about Qin Liuxi's background.
Mrs. An exclaimed, "To think she's the granddaughter of Qin Yuanshan, this is trouble. The Saint really despises Qin Yuanshan. Just recently when I went to greet the Empress, I heard quite a bit about it. The Saint still holds a grudge over last year's sacrificial ceremony."
