By mid-April, Tingzheng had followed Li Guoxing and left the Capital City.
After seeing off Tingzheng, Yueyao prepared to return to the manor. Ma Chengteng had no objections, but Zhuang Ruolan did. Zhuang Ruolan said, "What's so good about the countryside? There is nothing there."
Yueyao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's cooler at the manor. The Capital City is hotter than the manor." This was the best reason Yueyao could find.
Zhuang Ruolan laughed and said, "Even if you're worried about the heat in the Capital City, you should go in May. You definitely can't go now. If you find it boring, it just so happens that I've been very busy lately; you could help me manage the household."
Yueyao had no desire to manage the household and quickly declined.
Cai Xiang walked in from outside and said, "Madam, the Eldest Young Master of the Lian family is here. He says he wants to see the young lady."
