"The affairs at the estate have been very busy, so I haven't been able to visit you until now." Feng Xun's reply was flawless.
This was the mode of interaction between the two, and also Feng Xun's consistent way of interacting with others.
"Xun? Have you come to see me today for a reason?" Xue Pianran's eyes, with black long lashes, fluttered like the wings of a butterfly in flight.
Xue Pianran knew Feng Xun well and could tell that something was unusual about his visit today.
Feng Xun was a distant person. Since he went to Daxia, he only returned to Beiqing once a year, but he did not often come to Dan Palace, and when he did, it was either to play chess with Master Chen Hongru or to discuss affairs.
Their previous meetings had always been by the book, with others present, and Feng Xun's behavior was always respectful, never overstepping bounds.
But today, there was an urgency in Feng Xun's eyes.
