Anning and Xiao Yuan arrived at the Cui home. Xiao Yuan had the servant lead him to meet Second Master Cui, while Anning first went to Old Lady Cui.
The original owner frequently visited the Cui home in earlier years and was very familiar with Old Lady Cui. When Anning arrived, she stood outside the door and heard voices inside, then she stepped over the threshold.
Behind a screen, Anning smiled and said, "What is Old Madam talking about? It sounds lively in here."
Upon hearing Anning's voice, Old Lady Cui quickly said, "You're finally here. I was just saying, it's been many days since your last visit. I wondered if you had forgotten about this forgettable old woman."
Anning walked around the screen and saw a spacious room, fully furnished. Across from her sat an old lady on a couch, with a small table in front of her that held tea, snacks, and dry fruits.
