The Eldest Sister Has Space Chapter 3756: Departure

Previously on The Eldest Sister Has Space...

Tensions rose as Boss Song confronted Chichi and Song Yan about their true identities, emphasizing the need for honesty or else he would report them. Under pressure, they reluctantly followed him down the mountain to Song's house, where Song Yan introduced himself as a visitor there to see Aunt Song. The Song family was taken aback upon realizing his identity as the Prince of Yongan Hou. As Chichi and Song Yan prepared to leave for Li's house, they encountered unexpected guests at their new destination, setting the stage for unforeseen developments.

Although Chi Chi didn't recognize the two individuals immediately, Pang Lang had already stepped forward with Luo Shi to offer their greetings.

"I have seen the Prince."

Joining them were Lady Lin, Xiaolu, and He Sha, all of whom were skilled embroiderers who had previously visited Xuanhe Mansion. Having learned of Gu Ruyi’s return the previous night, Pang Lang and the others were well aware that Chi Chi had been the one to escort her back.

However, because it had been so late yesterday, they refrained from intruding upon the household. They arrived early this morning, only to find that Chi Chi and Song Yan were already preparing to depart.

The group moved back to the main hall to sit down. Luo Shi was the first to offer a sincere apology, "I have already heard the accounts from Lady Lin and the others regarding the events at Xuanhe Mansion. It was due to my lack of oversight and poor management that Xu Guilan was able to commit such acts. Fortunately, Madam Hou intervened, and now Ruyi has returned home safely."

In truth, Luo Shi had already visited Mrs. Li to apologize when Lady Lin first returned. Her words today were specifically intended for Chi Chi’s ears.

Chi Chi had heard of Luo Shi’s character from Gu Yundong and knew she was a woman of smooth social grace, so her presence wasn't unexpected. She was likely worried that his mother might take offense against the Pang Family Cloth Merchants because of this incident.

In reality, Gu Yundong held a certain level of respect for Luo Shi.

Knowing this, Chi Chi naturally maintained a polite demeanor, "My mother mentioned the Pang family and Mrs. Pang to me. She spoke of the friendship you shared many years ago and asked me to pass on her regards if I saw you."

Luo Shi let out a quiet sigh of relief, her expression brightening. "I am honored that Madam Hou still remembers me. If it weren't for her, our family would never have established a connection with the Duan family. The fact that the Pang family has grown to its current scale is all thanks to Madam."

Chi Chi stole a glance at Pang Lang. His mother was right; while Pang Lang had once been the head of the family, it was clear that Luo Shi had taken over the reins in recent years. However, Luo Shi was not overbearing; she took care to preserve Pang Lang's dignity in public. After discussing Gu Yundong for a while, Pang Lang took over the conversation with Chi Chi.

Since the travelers had a long journey ahead, they prepared to say their goodbyes after a brief chat.

Nearby, Mrs. Li and the rest of the Li family had already prepared various items, which they were now busily stuffing into the carriage.

Chi Chi felt a bit overwhelmed. "Auntie, I am heading to the capital. There is so much here; I can’t possibly take it all back to Xuanhe Mansion."

Pang Lang interjected quickly, "I will arrange for someone to assist in transporting these goods back to Xuanhe Mansion for you." The Pang family had also prepared gifts for the Marquis’s Estate.

Mrs. Li added, "Your mother is very fond of the dried bamboo shoots from Fengxian County. They keep for a long time. These other items are also local specialties. Ruyi faced so much trouble in Xuanhe Mansion, and we owe it all to you. Words aren't enough to thank you; please accept these as a token of our gratitude."

Chi Chi had no choice but to accept.

Regarding Pang Lang’s offer to ship the items, it wasn't necessary. The Liu family operated a Jinxiu Restaurant in Yongning Mansion, which received shipments from Xuanhe Mansion every month or two. He could simply ask them to include his items in their next delivery.

Once the luggage was secured, he bid farewell to the Li family.

The Li family and the Pang couple escorted him all the way to the city gates, and even the local magistrate appeared after hearing the news.

Chi Chi waved goodbye, entered the carriage, and told Gu Ruyi to take good care of herself before setting off. By the time they reached Yongning Mansion City, Gu Yunshu’s group had already begun their journey.
