The carriage pulled up in front of the Huo Estate.
Xu Junjun settled Jun Xiaochen inside, warning him repeatedly not to cause any trouble, before finally stepping out to call for the gatekeepers. The servants at the Huo Estate were the same ones as before; seeing Xu Junjun appear at the entrance, their eyes widened until they were larger than bronze bells. They almost thought they were seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Even after Xu Junjun spoke, they remained too stunned to regain their senses, scrambling in a panic to fetch the estate steward.
When the steward arrived, shocked, and saw that it was truly Xu Junjun, his legs turned to jelly; he nearly stood there like a fool. It was only when Xu Junjun beckoned to him with a smile, telling him to go inside and announce her arrival, that the steward shook off his panic. Like a wooden puppet following instructions, he ran into the estate, stumbling over his own feet.
