Due to Bai Ruozhu having to go to court the next day, she did not stay long and returned home with Xiaosi after a short chat with Yu Hongxiu.
Xiaosi was very happy having been praised by Mr. Ji, and when he got home, he immediately went into his room to practice calligraphy. Bai Ruozhu saw his eagerness to learn and felt very gratified.
She went to Lin Ping'er's room to see Dengdeng. Everyone else at home was busy, so mother and daughter were chatting quietly in the room with Dengdeng present.
"Mother, I'm thinking of going to the capital with Chang Sheng sometime soon. I want to bring Dengdeng with us." After a while, Bai Ruozhu voiced her thoughts.
Lin Ping'er was taken aback, but she soon regained her composure and mumbled, "It's right that you should accompany your husband."
Bai Ruozhu hugged her mother's arm and said in a somewhat coquettish manner, "Mother, we will travel by waterway, it's a quicker journey. I don't want to be apart from you and father for too long."
