The manor bustled with activity and rightfully so. Because the heir had returned.
As Fu Ling's guest, Li Xin was treated with the utmost respect.
Only after getting cleaned up and dressed in new clothes did his cousin finally show up.
Behind her was a woman in a face veil who kept her head lowered.
Tang Ai—the cousin, she didn't even have the surname Fu because in terms of relation, she was Fu Ling's aunt's daughter.
If it were any other dynasty, she would have had no chances of inheritance but this world was just built like that.
Fu Ling's father had just one sister. His mother was an only child and his aunt's husband was also an only child. In every way, she was the only live 'relative' of the Fu family.
She smiled with tears in her eyes and extended her hands wanting to clasp them with Fu Ling but he retreated.
The tears fell down in drops as she sobbed softly. That didn't affect her ability to talk though.
