Hua Xiaomai couldn't figure out what Hua Erniang's hidden intentions were, but as soon as Meng Yuhuai returned from the Escort Agency that evening and was still tying up his horse in the back, she couldn't wait to follow him.
"Invite the two of us to dinner?" Meng was equally puzzled, turned around, and said, "Why on earth come up with such an idea? If there's something you need help with, just saying the word would be enough; why make such a fuss? Around Mid-Autumn, those few days, I'm afraid neither of us will have any free time. First, your little restaurant needs to plan for its reopening, and second, the Escort Agency has taken on a deal with the Provincial City, exactly those days we set off. This trip is going to Shu, and although I don't need to follow, I still have to give extra instructions to avoid any mishaps, and most likely, I will have to stay at the Escort Agency later each day."
