What Sword One said did make sense.
Yuanxiang was a very nice girl and she would not dwell on that.

When Qing came home…
Ten days had already passed.
When Gu Chaoyan learned of her arrival time, Gu Chaoyan was greeting Qing outside the mansion personally with a coat on. Just like before when Qing was waiting for her to return every time she came home.
The wagon pulled over as it came to the Gu Mansion, and Qing hopped off the wagon happily.
The moment she spotted Elder Miss at the gate, Qing felt like crying. “Elder Miss!”
Gu Chaoyan reached out for Qing’s wrist, sized her up from head to toes and then nodded with satisfaction. “Looks nice, just a little fatter.”
Qing stomped her feet. “Elder Miss!”
“Alright, alright, let’s go in.” Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly and guided Qing back to the mansion.
Qing did not have much luggage apart from some dresses. So she put down the package and came to Gu Chaoyan directly.
Gu Chaoyan had gotten the pastries and snacks ready for her ahead of time.
She asked Qing to take the seat.
Gu Chaoyan did not have many rules between maids and misses. Only when they were outside the Qiong Pavilion would they have to behave like the maid and the mistress, but back at the Qiong Pavilion, Gu Chaoyan did not care. Sword One and Qing were allowed to sit as they wanted.
So Qing naturally took the seat.
“Is everything going well in the mansion?” Gu Chaoyan asked.
That was the private mansion Gu Chaoyan bought in the capital. The name was not yet settled and it had been vacant all along, so Gu Chaoyan called it the mansion for the time being.
Qing nodded.
“Everything is well. Since I came home to you, Xiu Jie will take over the errands. He is very obedient. Apart from dealing with the errands at the mansion, he also learns things with Manager Song at the Yellow Crane every day. He does that every day! Manager Song doesn’t need him to be there, but he is very devoted so he insists on being there. Well, we have to let him do it!” Qing said. She was worried and admiring Xiu Jie at the same time.
Gu Chaoyan nodded. She did find the right person. Xiu Jie was indeed an excellent man.
Qing nagged about what happened at the mansion to Gu Chaoyan, then she mentioned the Adulthood Ceremony.
Qing had never expected that the Elder Miss’ Adulthood Ceremony would become so grand.
Gu Chaoyan asked Qing to take a break when they finished the conversation.

The first snow of the Saint Divine Land fell unexpectedly.
Gu Chaoyan felt that the days became so cold during the evening, and she woke up from the cold very often. She tossed around and could not fall asleep.
So when the day broke, Gu Chaoyan woke up and drank a cup of hot tea and then felt slightly better.
Qing screamed as she opened the door. “Miss, it is snowing!”
Gu Chaoyan went out to take a look at it as well. She had not seen snow for years.
Sword One put on the coat for her. “Elder Miss, the wind is blowing, let’s go back to the room.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and returned to the room.
Sword One got the fire basin and Qing got the fireplace ready. Both of them were aware that Gu Chaoyan was afraid of the cold.
In this way she felt slightly warmer.
Gu Chaoyan did not turn down the basin when the snow fell.
“Chaoyan!” Zhou Huaijin walked in hurriedly.
