To let off some steam, Xie Yunzhen invited Du Peilan to the garden to brew tea, claiming it was to reminisce about old times.
Du Peilan was flattered and did not refuse.
In her heart, she agreed with Xiao Feixue's words; Xie Yunzhen indeed couldn't forget about her!
This move didn't upset Ji Mingzhu but startled the elders.
A man and a woman, with an awkward status, how could they brew tea alone!
In the end, it was the Commandery Princess who stepped in to entertain Du Peilan, preventing others from gossiping.
Xie Yunling came to keep Ji Mingzhu entertained and naturally brought up the matter.
"Sister Mingzhu, when you came to the Duke Mansion, my brother had already left to gain experience, so you might not know about his relationship with Madam Zheng."
Xie Yunling said mysteriously, "They can be considered childhood sweethearts, often going out together and attending banquets. One year during the Lantern Festival, my brother even won a lantern for Madam Zheng."
