Xi Lian took her leave, but didn't go far, instead waiting at the street corner for Shen Ruhui to return, thinking that if Shen Ruhui hadn't returned, then Yu Cong surely hadn't returned either.
The gatekeeper closed the gate again, shaking his head and sighing as he headed to the back courtyard, where they were pulling cabbages.
The maid saw him dawdling and couldn't help but get extremely angry, loudly asking, "Who is it?"
The gatekeeper glanced at her and said, "A lady, unfortunately she's already married. I thought she was someone who wanted to marry our lord, what a pity."
The maid was silent upon hearing this.
Shen Xian, who was returning from the cellar with a load, heard the words and said quietly, "Don't worry about this, the lord has no such mind. Marrying a new wife would only delay her."
He put down the load and then asked, "Which lady came? Why did she visit? Did she leave a note?"
