Chapter 071 – Restructuring
The moment Xue Ning stepped inside the residence, Yan Yu teased with a playful grin, “Oh my, Big Sis~! Why’s your face all flushed? Must be the heat, I suppose! I wonder which household’s cat is prowling around and sneaking a taste, hmm?”
Xue Ning came over and took her hand with a laugh. “Yes, yes, you caught me. I’m guilty as charged! But I’m only sneaking around with my own husband.”
The two women giggled and playfully wrestled. The four maids—Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju—along with Auntie Wang, couldn’t help but smile at the sight.
Xue Ning turned back to the carriage, took out a small box of clothes, and said, “It’s getting hot, so I brought two silk robes for our husband and you. Come on, try them...”
Yan Yu shook her head. “Let’s eat lunch first. We can try them afterward.”
“Alright...” Xue Ning then turned and glanced at Li Yuan with a look full of tender affection. “Husband, shall we eat first?”
Li Yuan checked the time and replied, “You go ahead. I need to step out. The sect master wants me at Blood Fury Hall at noon.”
Yan Yu noted, “There’s still a bit of time before noon.”
“I’d rather head over early,” Li Yuan said.
“Then come back for lunch afterward,” she offered.
Li Yuan waved a hand. “No need to wait. I’m not sure how long it’ll take. You all eat without me.”
With that, he left in a hurry, heading north. He wasn’t entirely sure why the sect master had summoned him. However, he suspected it was related to what Zhao Chunxin had mentioned before about the recent shake-up and the sect’s policies changing.
