After returning to the mansion, it was already evening.
Jiang Li did not go straight back to her courtyard; instead, she went to Night Wind Hall. This visit to the Duke Residence had left both Madam Jiang the Elder and Jiang Yuanbai puzzled, so they had waited for her specially at Night Wind Hall. Seeing her return safe and sound, with no apparent distress in her demeanor, very tranquil, they finally put away their worries.
"Little Miss Li, when you visited the Duke Residence today, did you meet anyone in particular? What did you do there? Did Old General Jih say why he invited only you to the banquet?" asked Madam Jiang the Elder.
