Maid servants usually guarded the courtyard, but since they were called away to help with a feast today, there was no one around at the moment.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Chun asked.
The gatekeeper servant said, "Someone is requesting to see our Great Prince's Consort, claiming to be from the Jie Family's residence."
Xiang Chun didn't dare delay the matter concerning the Jie Residence, so she quickly went to report to Gu Youyou.
Gu Youyou put down the half-roasted skewer she was holding and stood up, saying to Miss Du, "I should go take a look. Now in the Jie Residence, only Elder Jie is there; perhaps there is some emergency."
Even though Miss Du had already left the Jie Family, she still had great respect for Elder Jie. After all, he was a friend of her deceased parents, and he had taken care of her when her father passed away.
She nodded and said, "Alright, go quickly. Dress warmly; it's really cold outside."
