"Young Master.... The old master will be very happy to know you have returned."
Li Qian's steward, Xu, followed carefully behind him with a very respectful expression.
He originally thought that the young master would not come back.
Li Qian nodded and walked towards the side courtyard where he had lived before.
Steward Xu followed closely behind.
The side courtyard was still empty, and all the ornaments were almost unchanged from before he had left home.
But it was quite clean.
It must have been cleaned regularly.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Following that, Li Donglin hurried in with a refined-looking young man following him.
"My boy."
This once always stern father... now seemed exceptionally excited.
His long-awaited eldest son had finally come home.
"Father."
Li Qian spoke calmly.
"It's good you're back, good you're back."
Li Donglin repeated.
"Brother."
