Not long after the two started talking, Xie Yanyu, drawn by the whispers, came searching for them.
His usually calm demeanor was somewhat cold, and he looked down at his sister for a long while without asking much before saying, "Shall we go back?"
Xie Wanqing had always harbored a bit of reverence for this elder brother of hers. Seeing his stern expression now, she was even more apprehensive and naturally chose to follow him back.
Pei Yuqing didn't hold them back and personally escorted the siblings to the main entrance, watching endlessly until the carriage disappeared from sight.
Behind him, Princess Duan Yang's trusted servant waited for a moment, then stepped forward to softly urge, "Young Master, Her Highness has been waiting for you for nearly two hours."
Pei Yuqing glanced at her, lowered his eyes, and turned to enter the mansion.
