The Purple Bamboo Courtyard was reached quickly, with many maidservants guarding it, yet the atmosphere remained quiet and orderly. The courtyard was elegantly and richly constructed, perfect for a girl's family to reside in.
A charming maid dressed in onion-green bijia standing under the veranda saw Fei'er and her party approaching. She hurriedly lifted the curtain and said, smiling, "Young Madam, you've had a tiring journey. You've brought two young ladies with you; please come inside."
Fei'er said, "You all have worked hard too. Once the Second Lady's birthday has passed, I'll surely reward everyone well."
Saying this, she led Ning Huaixiu and Juhua into the room. Upon entering, they were met by a wave of warmth. The room was not only warm like spring but also fragrant. Around ten young ladies of varying figures were either seated or standing, bustling with laughter and conversation. Upon seeing Fei'er enter, they stopped their chatter and promptly stood.
