The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 532: Wu’an Hou Mansion

Jiang Youzhi laughed, feeling that Du Ruo’s words came from the heart.

He nodded, "By the way, tomorrow morning you’ll go to the Wu’an Hou Mansion to deliver a letter for me to Brother Lin."

Then he added, "If you’re unfamiliar with the place, find someone to go with you, and learn the etiquette you are not familiar with."

"Once you understand the rules, I can take you everywhere with me."

Du Ruo joyfully agreed.

At this moment, Lin Shuo, whom Jiang Youzhi was thinking of, had not yet entered the Wu’an Hou Mansion.

After bidding farewell to Yun Jiao in the afternoon, Lin Shuo hesitated to return home and wandered aimlessly on horseback through the streets.

Ah Hu accompanied him, and neither had dinner, wandering around the Capital City.

As the second watch sounded, Ah Hu finally couldn’t hold back, "Young master, since we are back in Capital City, we should go back and have a look."

Lin Shuo remained silent for a moment before quietly turning his horse towards the Wu’an Hou Mansion.

With the clatter of hooves, the mansion drew nearer.

The horses stopped at the side entrance of the mansion.

The two servants at the gate jumped up when they saw Lin Shuo, "The young master has returned!"

One servant opened the door while the other ran inside to report the news swiftly.

It was late; the lights in the main courtyard were already out.

Despite this, a servant courageously announced the news outside Marquis Wu’an’s bedroom.

The young master had been away for a year, so it was necessary to report immediately.

After a long while, the lights inside finally turned on.

However, no sound came from within.

In the side courtyard next to the main courtyard, Madam Wu’an Hou, kneeling on a prayer mat chanting Buddha, paused her beads upon hearing the servant’s report.

She knelt there, looking up at the benevolent face of Guanyin.

Tears silently flowed from her eyes.

After entering the mansion, Lin Shuo went straight back to his own courtyard.

The servants, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to come alive, bustling with excitement.

In the days without their master at home, they always walked with their heads down.

Some went to the kitchen to prepare supper for Lin Shuo; others hurried to boil water, preparing for Lin Shuo’s bath.

A fire basin was brought over, and new bed curtains were quickly exchanged.

Lin Shuo and Ah Hu each had two bowls of noodles, then took a bath and changed clothes.

The maid dried Lin Shuo’s hair and softly asked, "Will young master go to the main courtyard to see the Marquis now?"

She was very anxious for him, thinking that since he had been away for so long, the first thing upon returning should be visiting his parents, yet he seemed indifferent to this.

Lin Shuo shook his head, "I’m tired; after such a long journey, I’ll rest tonight and discuss it tomorrow."

If his father wanted to see him, he would have sent someone over earlier.

No summons meant no desire to see him.

The maid hesitantly asked, "What about the Madam?"

Lin Shuo shook his head again, said nothing more, and returned to his bedroom to sleep.

Perhaps it was the familiarity of the bed, for Lin Shuo slept very well that night.

Much like in carefree times past.

Early the next morning, the maid neatly tied his hair, and as soon as he stepped into the sitting area, two young maids brought a food box inside.

After placing the contents one by one on the table, one maid said, "The kitchen made crab roe dumplings, fried rice sparrows, cream rolls, abalone soup, and custard steamed with milk."

She only mentioned these few items, yet there were more on the table.

Lin Shuo sat down for breakfast, before asking after some time, "Has the Marquis gone to court?"
