571 The Storm Begins
On the third day, Yueyao followed An Zhichen with their children, visiting Ma's Mansion.
Ma Peng entertained An Zhichen, Brother Jiejie greeted Brother Shengsheng and his brothers, while Yanqi hosted Kexin, and Yueyao accompanied Zhuang Ruolan for a chat.
The two women mostly talked about household matters. Zhuang Ruolan complained to Yueyao, "I've picked three candidates for Brother Peipei, but father found all unsatisfactory and rejected them." Zhuang Ruolan felt overwhelmed selecting a bride for Ma Pei.
Yueyao had no solutions: "Without his parents, Brother Peipei depends on you and your husband to shoulder the burden. How's Cousin's reinstatement going?" Lord Zhuang was indeed a man with real authority, enabling Ma Peng's reinstatement, albeit with some difficulty finding a satisfactory position.
Zhuang Ruolan replied with a smile, "It's decided, Prefectural Governor of the Capital; he will assume office next month."
