After Gu Yifeng returned to the Capital, he immediately encountered the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth month. He first went to the palace to express his gratitude, and was then kept for a banquet before returning home.
Mrs. Dong was waiting at the inner gate with two concubines. Aunt Lv's eyes showed undisguised pleasure as she glanced slyly at Aunt He beside her, her face growing smug.
Although the Marquis had not been in the mansion for seven years, he sent gifts every year, so Aunt Lv was considered favored, having been pregnant twice; however, unfortunately, both were daughters.
As she grew older, Aunt Lv thought she should conceive again while she was still favored, hoping to give birth to a son.
Last night, after the Marquis returned home, he stayed in the main courtyard. Tonight, it was almost certain he would come to her quarters.
