"Madam, please slow down." Just as they were fidgeting anxiously, a voice came from outside the door.
Gu Lehuan shot to his feet, keeping his head bowed as he stood there meekly.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." Jin Qianqian knew it was her fault they had been waiting for a long time, so she apologized the moment she spoke.
She went straight to the host's seat and sat down. "You must be from Miss Xu's family. Please, have a seat and we can talk."
Gu Lehuan thought the voice sounded a little familiar, but he didn't have the courage to stare at the official's wife. Keeping his head down, he said in a low voice, "My Cousin Xue promised you, Madam, that she would send over any estate she found for your review. She recently acquired a small one nearby, but it's inconvenient for her to leave the house, so she asked me to make the trip in her stead."
Jin Qianqian asked casually, "Is something the matter with Miss Xu?"
