Zhao Song was delighted to hear this, "Quickly invite them in. Their house has been unoccupied for more than half a month, making it inconvenient to stay. Let them stay at our place."
Noticing the messenger nearby, he said, "Perfect timing, with the clan leader's messenger here, let her meet them as well."
Zhao Song said to the messenger, "Third Lady has always been worried about the clan leader being stuck in a war-torn region. Seeing you now will give her peace of mind."
The messenger, a close confidant of Zhao Zhongyu, who was aware of Zhao Ji abandoning the main house, felt awkward hearing this.
Zhao Hanzhang decided to stay at her family's old house, but after dropping off her luggage, she took Fu Tinghan along to greet Zhao Song, treating him like a close elder.
The messenger saw the two and immediately stood aside, waiting for them to finish greeting Zhao Song before coming forward to meet them, "Tan Zhong greets Third Lady and Mr. Fu."
