After leaving the Imperial Palace, He Xuran went to the Grand Tutor Mansion for lunch.
This place had a courtyard prepared especially for him.
He was travel-worn, exhausted from many days on the road. Jiasan didn't hold him up with conversation and just sent him off to rest.
When He Xuran came out after a good sleep, it was getting late. Having regained his energy, he was much more alert.
He Xuran was just about to pay his respects to Jiasan.
Since he returned, the siblings hadn't spoken. But he hadn't even entered the main courtyard when he heard voices inside.
"Is it true that the Lu Family is planning to move back to the capital?"
It was Jiasan's surprised voice.
One couldn't blame her for being surprised; years ago, the Gu Family and the Lu Family had good relations.
Mr. Lu and Gu Fuju were of similar age and entered the court as officials together, each a prominent figure.
