The Empress Dowager visited the Marquis Duanjing Residence on a bright day, without sending any prior notice.
The butler was shocked to see the Empress Dowager's procession returning to the residence. He suspected that perhaps the Empress Dowager was afraid that if she informed them in advance, the Young Marquis would stubbornly prevent her from coming, so she decided to come directly instead.
The butler, feeling anxious yet respectful, invited the Empress Dowager inside. When the Empress Dowager was halfway through her walk, Yan Qing finally sauntered out from inside. Upon seeing the Empress Dowager, he raised an eyebrow and showed a dissatisfied expression.
The Empress Dowager stopped and playfully admonished him, "No matter how much you didn't want me to return to the residence, here I am."
The implication being, there's no use in trying to chase me away now; I'm already here.
The butler thought to himself, indeed, only the Empress Dowager truly understands the Young Marquis.
