A short moment passed swiftly, but unfortunately, Zhong Yingming didn't show up on time.
Instead, arriving ahead of him was Old Lady Zhong, Yun's.
Don't be fooled by her nearing seventy, she's energetic and nimble, without the slightest trace of frailty.
What was even more surprising was that she started calling out vehemently before even entering the courtyard.
"Ha! I heard that our Zhong family has a formidable guest! You're even acquainted with the young lady of Jingzhao's House? Hah, I must take a look at what kind of person dares to grace our humble abode!"
The old lady's voice was loud and piercing, instantly disturbing the sleeping Madam Ming.
"Commandery Princess, don't be angry. My mother-in-law is just like that, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted."
"Madam, she doesn't seem soft-hearted at all!"
Lin Yuan interrupted her, adjusting the quilt and instructing Xiao Huan to take good care of her, while she straightened her clothes and walked out.
