Madam He had come to say her farewells.
She had already stayed at the Prince Mansion for two days. If she stayed any longer, people would start to gossip.
Li Ji said, "You don't have to worry about what others think. Stay as long as you like."
Madam He was surprised. She had only said she wanted to go home, so how did Prince Zhao know of her worries? 'Prince Zhao's ability to read people is truly remarkable.'
She said with a smile.
"Even if no one says anything, I must go back.
I can't stay here forever.
There are all sorts of things to take care of at home. The sooner I go back, the sooner I can get them in order.
As long as you don't find me a bother, I'll come impose on you again when I have the time."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Li Ji didn't try to persuade her further. He only said.
"I'll have Gao Shan prepare a carriage to take you back."
Madam He: "Then I must thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."
Hua Manman watched her with longing eyes.
