Chapter 266 Second Update
The entire Prince Duan’s Mansion was awash with jubilation, and the few house servants of Prince Duan’s Mansion were all secretly curious to see what the Commandery Princess was like.
However, Prince Duan had thought of this early on, so the only few old women available were assigned to the courtyard where Zheng Nianru currently resided, with two more stationed at the gate.
Looking at the somewhat familiar courtyard, with newly planted trees emitting the fresh scent of soil, the note still dangling from them, Zheng Nianru noticed their presence.
"These trees will come to life in a few days’ time," Prince Duan remarked with emotion as he touched the trees in the yard, incessantly scrutinizing Zheng Nianru.
"What is Father looking at?" Zheng Nianru turned her head and looked candidly toward Prince Duan, who then diverted his gaze, feeling somewhat uneasy, and pointed toward the front yard.
"Quick, take a look at your room. If there’s anything unsatisfactory, I’ll have it changed immediately," Zheng Boding said as he pulled Zheng Nianru into the house. Upon seeing the room, which was somewhat blurred in her memory, a rush of emotions surged up within her, and the bitterness in her heart, along with the grievances from her past life, came flooding out, bringing tears to the corners of her eyes.
"Everything here is naturally fine, much better than Qishun Building," Zheng Nianru said sincerely. Although she hadn’t lived here for long in her previous life, and didn’t find the furnishings as handy as those in Qishun Building, they were all personally arranged by Zheng Boding. Seeing it all now, this place, filled with Prince Duan’s care, was indeed something she had taken for granted.
Upon hearing her words, Zheng Boding immediately realized he had spoken out of turn, reminding Nianru of the suffering she endured at Qishun Building. Even though he hadn’t seen for himself how she lived in the palace, and their limited annual meetings were at Xingqing Hall, he could guess from the obviously brand-new clothes she wore, the uncomfortable way she donned them.
"It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back," Prince Duan took two steps forward, raising his hand to embrace his daughter, only to realize that she had grown so tall. Her face, already broadening, was becoming more strikingly beautiful, and Zheng Boding could only pat his daughter’s shoulder with his hand.
