Cui Du, dressed in plain clothes, lacked the demeanor and aura of Elder Changning, still resembling a neighboring youth. Upon seeing Jiang Shaohua, his eyes lit up, and he strode forward with a broad smile.
Jiang Shaohua, upon seeing Cui Du, felt her gloomy mood lift instantly and smiled, saying, "I had some free time, so I came to the field manor to stay for a few days."
Cui Du nodded with a smile, gave Jiang Shaohua a serious look, and suddenly asked, "Has something happened in the court?"
Jiang Shaohua laughed and countered, "Why do you ask that?"
"Nanyang County has had favorable weather this year, with a bountiful harvest, and the number of refugees being taken in is increasing. Everything is going well in Pingzhou as well. The only thing that could distress the Commandery Princess is matters in the Capital City," Cui Du said softly, gazing at the girl before him.
