On August 26, it was the coming-of-age ceremony of Meng Wenhui, the cousin of Chu Hengyuan. Chu Hengyuan went to morning court first, while Aran stayed in the manor to check the gifts to be sent to the Meng Residence. These past few days, she had been learning how to read account books from Chu Hengyuan and had not stepped foot outside the manor's gates even once. Although it was a bit dry, she had indeed learned some new skills.
However, this drove the spies lurking outside Xuan Manor frantic. Days had passed, yet they had not caught a single glimpse of the young woman the Second Prince had mentioned, even though the Second Prince himself had wandered around the area several times. They began to wonder if the Second Prince had received wrong information, or if this young woman was simply too much of a shut-in. They had tried numerous methods, yet none of them could manage to break into the manor or strike up a rapport with the departing servants and maids.
"Grand Eunuch, is everything on this gift list proper? Do we need to add anything else?" This was the first time Aran was drafting a gift list for Chu Hengyuan in the capacity of the future mistress of the house. Because it was her first time, after she finished drafting and checking the gifts to be sent, she invited Grand Eunuch Bai to give her some advice.
