267 She is my great-aunt! (Third update)

Empress Dowager Zhuang had a chat with the Zhuang family, but she felt tired.

Zhuang Taifu ordered a few children to withdraw, letting Zhuang Mengdie and Zhuang Yuexi return to their respective courtyards to rest. He then asked Prince An to join him in his study room.

"Yes."

Prince An went to Zhuang Taifu's study.

The study was lit by an oil lamp, the light was not too dim, but it wasn't too bright, either. The storm outside carried on unabated.

Zhuang Taifu waved his hand, dismissed the servants, leaving only himself and Prince An in the room.

The empress dowager had been found, but Zhuang Taifu discovered that this grandson wasn't as excited as he had imagined. As a matter of fact, he had been this way since the palace examination.

This led Zhuang Taifu to doubt whether Prince An had lost his confidence after one setback.
