Madam Zhou, far away at the Hot Spring Manor, was naturally unaware of the troubles she had inadvertently caused. She had come to the estate for a few days solely to relax and unwind. Besides soaking in the hot springs, she enjoyed admiring the blooming peach blossoms and, in high spirits, collected some petals with Qiu Xiang and the others to brew Peach Blossom Wine and make flower tea.
When she heard Liu Jin had arrived, Madam Zhou was somewhat surprised and called him over for a chat.
"Has there been a letter from your young lady, and you came to deliver it personally? Or is there something else?" Madam Zhou asked him.
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Before the young lady left, she instructed me that even if Madam went to the estate, I should come often to check in and follow Madam's orders." Liu Jin had already thought of an excuse when he arrived, and he replied with a smile.
