Dai Lao Tai Jun smiled kindly.
Upon giving the greeting gift, it was considered an acknowledgment.
Yun Zuomo and the other two respectfully accepted, "Thank you, Lao Tai Jun!"
Dai Lao Tai Jun said, pulling Yun Jinnian closer, and headed towards the Princess Residence.
She complained, "Child, you don’t come to the Marquis Residence to see this old woman, are you shunning me?"
"Of course not, just been swamped with trivial matters lately, so couldn’t visit your residence!" Yun Jinnian quickly explained.
"Grandmother, grandmother, Jinnian is fooling you, she has been busy reorganizing the Princess Residence these days. Once it’s done, we’ll stay there forever, how about that?" said Dai Hanmi hurriedly.
"Alright, alright, let’s listen to Mimi!"
Mrs. Han and the Marchioness had met early on, and again several times afterward; now reuniting, they found no shortage of topics to discuss.
The Crown Princess walked beside the Marchioness.
The Second Lady, due to her sizable belly, had to stay home and nurse her pregnancy.
Though ignored, Yun Zuomo and the other two were extremely excited.
They encountered several ladies along the way, who upon learning their identities also gave them greeting gifts.
Not for their own prestige but for the temple’s sake; despite the Yun Residence not being prominent, with Mrs. Han and Yun Jinnian willing to bring these three along, face was still given anyhow.
Moreover, the greeting gifts weren’t anything of significant value; one might need Yun Jinnian’s help in the future, it’s always wise to foster relationships.
The group had quite an enjoyable time.
Upon reaching the main entrance, the butler Granny welcomed them into the back garden to see Yuwen Ming.
Groups entered and exited, speaking auspicious words, Yuwen Ming in bright red attire, sitting upright with a smile radiant like a flower.
Yun Jinnian and Dai Hanmi spoke auspicious words together, then left the bridal chamber, making way for others to enter.
The young ladies from the Princess Residence came over to greet, each having their own places to go, the elderly women enriching their social circles.
Today, Yun Zuomo and the other two were exceptionally curious.
Learning they were Yun Jinnian’s half-sisters, though puzzled, they greeted kindly, neither causing trouble nor showing excessive enthusiasm.
The few daughters from the Princess Residence were no exception.
No matter their pride, with Yun Jinnian having introduced them, none dared to neglect, fearing poor hospitality reaching the ears of the Grand Princess, their grandmother, they’d stand no chance.
When Xu Xinmo, Yun Musi, and Yun Mulan arrived, Yun Zuomo and the other two had already made several acquaintances, gathered around drinking tea and eating snacks, discussing amusing topics.
Yun Zuomo and her companions were rarely out, curious about everything said, fulfilling their vanity, thus increasingly willing to speak to them.
The trio listened intently, applauding at exciting parts.
Realizing everyone was looking, blushing shyly.
Without pretentiousness and sincere, they won much affection, befriending several others.
"Cousin!" Xu Xinmo cheered upon seeing Yun Jinnian, running happily to her side.
At that moment, Yun Jinnian was surrounded by Commandery Princesses and County Princesses, Dai Hanmi, though not officially titled, her aunt was the current Empress.
Yun Jinnian nodded at Xu Xinmo, "You’ve arrived!"
Xu Xinmo responded, standing by Yun Jinnian’s side, reluctant to leave.
Yuwen Ming’s cousin immediately summoned a maid to bring a stool over, placing it beside Yun Jinnian.
Xu Xinmo promptly sat down.
Dai Hanmi glanced at Yun Jinnian, then at Xu Xinmo, "Jinnian, your cousin’s outfit is quite nice!"
A girl lodging at her maternal grandparents’, dressed better than her rightful cousin, where did that silver come from?
