It was Lin Jingzhu and Lady Jin Yun.
"Mother, are we really going in? Isn’t this a bit too abrupt?" Lin Jingzhu asked in a low voice, looking somewhat worried.
Her mother had actually kept it from her that she sent a card to the Chen Mansion, leaving her unprepared.
Moreover, this matter hadn’t been discussed with Mr. Chen in advance. What if it made him angry?
Thinking of this, Lin Jingzhu couldn’t help but have second thoughts.
Lady Jin Yun comforted her, "After all, Chen Mo helped you dispel the Chill Toxin, so we should pay a visit to express our gratitude. Besides, this isn’t a formal marriage proposal. What are you afraid of?"
Lin Jingzhu wanted to say something more, but Lady Jin Yun had already pulled her up the stone steps.
Knocking on the door ring, after a moment, the door slowly opened.
He Yuzhi, who had been waiting a long time, came forward, hands folded over each other, and curtsied, "I greet Lady Jin Yun."
Lady Jin Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Lady Chen, you’re too courteous, that’s too much for me."
Looking at He Yuzhi’s smooth and delicate skin, Lady Jin Yun couldn’t help but be amazed, and said sincerely, "Lady Chen is truly naturally beautiful and radiant, looking just like a young maiden."
He Yuzhi smiled and said, "Lady Jin Yun flatters me. It’s just that my son made a Youthful Elixir, which makes me look younger than others my age."
Lady Jin Yun was momentarily stunned.
This item, once consumed, can make one stay young forever and is extremely rare and precious, hardly obtainable even with a fortune. She had only heard of it, never seen it in person.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mo actually had such abilities.
No woman doesn’t love beauty, and Lady Jin Yun was no exception.
If the two families could marry into each other, as the mother-in-law, wouldn’t she also be able to have one... Thinking of this, her heart grew even more eager.
"This visit is to thank your esteemed son for saving the life of my daughter. Not only did he rescue her from the Demon Clan, he also helped her resolve the Chill Toxin that troubled her for years." Lady Jin Yun gestured with her hand and said, "Bring everything in."
The maidservants carried the boxes into the courtyard.
Through the small gaps in the lids, a glimpse of the treasures inside could be seen, indicating they were all valuable items.
He Yuzhi frowned and said, "Lady, this is too generous. How can I possibly accept it?"
Lady Jin Yun shook her head and said, "Compared to my daughter’s life, these worldly possessions are nothing, just a token of our appreciation."
"And this must be your daughter?"
He Yuzhi looked at Lin Jingzhu standing by the side.
Lin Jingzhu bowed low and said softly, "Junior greets Lady Chen."
He Yuzhi’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
What a beautiful girl!
Although that rascal Chen Mo is known for his waywardness, flirtations, and entanglements, one cannot deny that every girl he entangles with is a rare beauty!
Lady Jin Yun glanced around and asked, "Is Young Master Chen not here today?"
He Yuzhi replied, "That brat just returned from handling a case out of town. He’s currently resting in his room. I’ll call him over right away..."
"There’s no need." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Lady Jin Yun spoke up, "Considering his long journey, he must be very tired. Let’s not bother him... Zhu’er, you go visit Young Master Chen, and I’ll have a nice chat with Lady Chen."
He Yuzhi knew Lady Jin Yun wanted to have a private discussion and was trying to send people away, so she instructed, "Meng’er, take Miss Lin to the East Wing."
A maid extended her hand and said, "Miss Lin, please come this way."
Lin Jingzhu bowed politely and then followed the maid away.
He Yuzhi looked at Lady Jin Yun and said with a smile, "Please come inside, Lady."
"Sorry for the intrusion."
The two of them headed towards the hall.
Chen Mo was sleeping in a daze, vaguely sensing something.
He opened his bleary eyes, lifted his head, and was suddenly stunned.
He saw Shen Zhixia crouched in the bedding, her cheeks puffed, with a pair of bright, watery eyes looking at him.
