"Wasn't the wedding procession supposed to arrive yesterday?" Dong Yao asked. "Why are you only returning today?"
Shen Qinglan whispered, "We had some matters to attend to, so we're back a bit late."
"Why don't I see those two, Xuan Ming and Xuan Ying?" Madam Xuan inquired.
Shen Qinglan glanced at Duan Yunfei, who laughed and said, "Xuan Ying returned to the Capital yesterday and went out to play. He didn't come back until midnight, so he's resting at the inn. Xuan Ming is waiting for him."
"That rascal, Xuan Ying!"
Madam Xuan shook her head helplessly.
Shen Qinglan looked at Madam Song and said, "Aunt, is Elder Mu here?"
"Yes." Madam Song nodded, "They're in the front courtyard, Lan Ruo went there early this morning."
"What do you need Elder Mu for?" Dong Yao frowned.
Shen Qinglan replied, "I want to ask for his help with something."
"He's in the front courtyard!" Madam Song looked at Jiang Han and said, "Do you want to find him now?"
"Yes." Shen Qinglan nodded.
