Chapter 4990: ArrivesEditor: Misty Cloud Translations

"Alright, let’s do as you suggest! When traveling, there’s no need for elaborate meals—the main thing is to make sure everyone eats their fill. See if you can find any wild greens around here to pick and add to the soup later." Song Lingbo spoke as he crossed his legs beneath the tree, closing his eyes to rest. With several sons handling the task, he naturally didn’t need to lift a finger, simply waiting for their return.

"We’ll help too," Hao’er and the others said as they approached.

Seeing this, Mi’er said, "Then come with me to gather some wild greens! Pick plenty of mushrooms too, just in case we don’t have enough."

"I’ll go with you," Song Yiming said, setting down his things before accompanying them to the nearby area.

The others began their tasks methodically: some prepared the game, others fetched pots and bowls, while some readied the fire...

Several days later, as Hao’er and the others were training in the forest with the Song family, Feng Jiu arrived in the city. After inquiring about the Song residence, she approached their gate.

Facing the large door, she stepped forward and knocked.

The door swung open. A middle-aged man studied the woman in green robes outside, then asked, "May I ask if you are Lady Xuanyuan?"

Before leaving, Miss Mi’er had instructed him that a friend of hers would visit—a woman in green robes, matching her description in age and appearance. He assumed this must be her.

Hearing the gatekeeper’s words, Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow. She had been about to ask, but unexpectedly, he had addressed her first.

So she replied, "Indeed. I’m here to see Mi’er."

"Please come inside, honored guest." The middle-aged man dared not delay, hastily opening the gate to invite her in. " Mi’er instructed before leaving that Lady Xuanyuan is our Song family’s honored guest. We must not neglect her.

As he escorted her into the mansion, he beckoned another servant to take his place at the gate and personally guided her toward the front hall. Slowing his pace slightly, he added, "Lady Xuanyuan, please take a seat in the hall. I will fetch My lady."

After Feng Jiu sat down, a maid brought tea and pastries before withdrawing to wait outside.

Sitting alone in the hall, Feng Jiu was unrestrained. She picked up the tea, sipped it, then tasted a pastry. Soon after, a beautiful woman walked in at a leisurely pace.

She observed the woman, noting a faint resemblance between her brow and Song Mi’er’s. Yet unlike Song Mi’er’s coquettish features, this woman possessed a different kind of beauty.

Her beauty wasn’t dazzling, nor was it coquettish or delicate. Instead, it radiated an air of dignified elegance—not startlingly striking, yet growing more captivating the longer one looked, revealing deeper layers of grace.

"Lady Xuanyuan."

Lady Song entered alone, her face adorned with a composed smile. She was somewhat surprised by Lady Xuanyuan’s youth and the calm, serene aura she carried.

She gave a slight nod, her voice gentle and warm as a spring breeze: "I am the wife of the Song P and Mi’er’s Mother. Mi’er has spoken of Lady Xuanyuan, though I never imagined you would be so young."

As she spoke, she took her seat at the head of the table, her gentle gaze resting appreciatively on the figure in blue seated to her left.

At that moment, Feng Jiu also rose, gave a slight bow, and sat down. She smiled, "I too have often heard Mi’er speak of you, My lady. You are indeed as gentle and beautiful as she described."
