Chapter 404: The Wife I Chose Myself

As soon as Marquis Mu Houchu returned, he asked where Ji Xinhe was.

The little maid by his side, with her head bowed, said, "Madam is in the study. She hasn't come out all afternoon."

Marquis Mu Houchu raised his eyebrow, wondering when she'd started to take an interest in his books?

Marquis Mu Houchu quickly made his way to the study.

At the door, he saw Shulan and Xiaoyu standing outside. When Ji Xinhe needed to concentrate on important matters, she usually preferred not to be attended by others, nor did she like a room bustling with people. Given that she had sent them out, was she busy with important work?
