The culinary skills of the kitchen maid at the Mei Mountain Villa weren't half bad, especially her rural dishes which had a unique flavor.
After having their noon meal, Su Rong and Ye Guixue left the Mei Mountain Villa and set off to the city in the carriage.
Just like their journey up, Ye Guixue and Su Rong spent the entire ride playing chess. They played to a draw each time and, as they reached the entrance of Xie Residence, one game had just ended.
Instead of stepping out of the carriage as she had done in the past, Su Rong stayed inside, waiting for Ye Guixue to speak.
Ye Guixue spoke gently, "I plan on leaving in a few days. The only thing I am hesitant about is my niece, Qiuying. You suggested earlier that Qiuying should be placed in the Eastern Palace, which I think is quite appropriate. So, I'm still inclined towards that idea unless you have other thoughts?"
