"Uncle Yunshan, Auntie, is Brother Yanshui home?"
Outside the small courtyard, a slightly plump young man dressed in fine robes stood with a warm smile, holding a few gifts. Beside him was a young girl in a simple white dress, her delicate features radiating elegance. Together, they greeted Yun Yunshan and Yun Qin's family, who were in the midst of dinner.
"Yandong? Quickly, come in and have a seat!"
Recognizing the young man as Yun Yandong, Yun Qin hurried to welcome him into the courtyard. She then went to the kitchen to prepare two additional sets of bowls and chopsticks for their guests.
"It's been a while, hasn't it? How's work going at the yamen? All smooth?"
Yun Yunshan poured a cup of wine for Yun Yandong and smiled warmly.
"Everything's been going well," Yun Yandong replied.
"Brother Yandong, aren't you going to introduce us to your lovely companion?" teased Yun Yanshuang, her playful gaze darting between Yandong and the girl beside him.
