Lian Manman stepped onto the porch and entered the house. Only after seeing Lian Manman enter did Yan Daopo turn around and leave.
Upon entering the Upper Room, Lian Manman didn't go straight to Lady Zhang's room but returned to her own room. The maids brought water, and Lian Manman briefly washed her hands and face, changed her clothes, and then called Shan Xi over.
"...The voice was fluctuating..., something about childbearing medicine, and also mentioned the Third Madam..." Shan Xi reported to Lian Manman what she had overheard.
Lian Manman could only sigh to herself after listening, contemplated for a moment, and then proceeded to Lady Zhang's room.
"You've been gone for quite a while, was there something significant?" Lady Zhang asked when she saw Lian Manman return.
"Nothing major," Lian Manman said, sitting down on the kang, and then roughly recounted the matters she had just dealt with to Lady Zhang.
