In the height of summer.
Just when the entire Capital City was enveloped in a blazing sun, sweltering and suffocating.
Xia Ruqing took people to The Summer Resort more than two hundred li from the Capital City.
Accompanying her were Madam Yang of Marquis Zhongyong's family and the Young Lady from the Minister's Mansion.
Originally, Xia Ruqing did not plan to call Xia Caiying over.
After all, she had only been newly married for half a year, and it was precisely a good time for the newlyweds to try for children.
Not good to interrupt.
But unexpectedly, when the eunuch from the palace went to Hou Mansion to deliver the message, Xia Caiying was there.
Having heard it, not saying anything would be improper.
So the eunuch repeated the message.
Upon hearing that her sister and sister-in-law were going to escape the summer heat, Xia Caiying insisted on going as well.
Ni Manxue found it a little difficult and joked.
