After Gu Yuan went downstairs, she heard the sound of Sheng Yi and Dao An bickering coming from the kitchen. Dao An chimed in occasionally, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Uncle Xiang saw her coming downstairs and was about to call out, but Gu Yuan shook her head at him, "I want to go outside and be alone for a while."
Uncle Xiang understood and nodded.
In the garden at the front, a patch of pink and white cosmos was in bloom. These cosmos flowers had only been planted in the past few years, and now, in October, it was their blossoming season. In the fenced area to the east, sunflowers were in full bloom, facing the sun. Gu Yuan walked over and sat down on the bamboo chair in front of the sunflower patch.
Not long after she sat down, Uncle Xiang came over and said, "Miss Gu, the lady is here."
The lady?
Who was the lady?
Gu Yuan was momentarily dazed, unable to remember who the lady was, so she didn't respond.
