The late spring sunshine filtered through the gaps in the crabapple trees, casting mottled shadows on the bluestone slabs.
Qiu Yan welcomed Chun Nuan inside, then had the maid serve tea and pastries. The two sisters sat in the warm sunlight, chatting about household affairs.
"Nuannuan! My dear sister, you finally came!"
She held her hand and indulged in playful banter.
Indeed, Qiu Yan, well-raised by Mrs. Qiu, still retained her youthful innocence.
What a blessing it truly is.
At this moment, Qiu Yan was dressed in a water-pink gauze skirt, with a fresh crabapple blossom tucked by her temple.
"Nuannuan! You have finally arrived. I've been thinking about you every day, hoping you could come over and chat with me, I..."
Qiu Yan was a little embarrassed to speak some words.
After all, it's been over two years since Chun Nuan married into the Zhao family, and she really wanted to know how Chun Nuan was doing there.
