After the second day of the new year, Xia Ruqing could finally rest for a few days.
She returned to a carefree life once more.
If she had previously been concerned about her brother's marriage, now she had no such worries at all.
Every day, she slept until she naturally woke up.
She would then freshen up, have breakfast, and take a stroll, sometimes to the grape arbor in the front yard, sometimes to the little vegetable garden in the backyard.
If the weather was occasionally bad and she had to stay indoors, she'd read storybooks, drink tea, make some snacks, and chat with Zi Yue and Zi Su.
This kind of life went on for half a month, leading up to the Lantern Festival.
That evening, Zhao Junyao finished his work and came to see her.
When he saw her engrossed in a storybook again, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You used to say you wanted to study well, learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, read, and practice writing, but now you're neglecting all that?"
