In May, there was none of the piercing chill of early spring, nor the scorching restlessness and languor of midsummer; it was the most comfortable season of the year.
At this time in Duke Ning's Mansion, Mu Qinglian had just sat down only to get up again, her whole person restless and uneasy. Madam Cui stood off to the side, not saying a word.
After quite a while, a Maid came in cheerfully and said, "Madam, Second Master is back, Madam, Second Master has reached the second gate." The Second Master of Duke Mansion was Mu Qinglian's second son. He had previously been posted outside, and now, after eight years, he had finally returned.
Mu Qinglian hurried out, and as soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard she saw her son coming over with his wife and their grandson and granddaughter.
