A flash of disappointment passed through her eyes, but Lian Family still wore a smile and said, "Have you heard?"
Mu Liancheng carefully replied, "I heard they were delayed on their return journey."

Lian Family could no longer hide her disappointment and sighed deeply, "Alright, go pay your respects to Old Madam first. I'm a bit tired and will rest for a while."
Mu Liancheng thought Lian Family was unwell, and fearing further questioning, he followed her suggestion, expressed his concern, and left.
Once he was gone, Lian Family leaned tiredly on the couch, feeling heavy-hearted.
Since both father and son chose to keep her in the dark, she might as well stay that way. If something went wrong later, they couldn't blame her.
Nanny Zhu observed quietly, knowing it was not the time to advise, so she kept her mouth shut.
