Auntie Guo made two cups of osmanthus oolong tea and took out some cookies, nuts, dried fruits, osmanthus cakes, and mung bean cakes. She made a refreshment platter and brought them out for the sisters.
"Sister," Xu Mingjing began. She didn't want to eat nor drink. "Zhengwen went home early today. He said that my brother-in-law fired him."
"Yes, I am aware of it." Xu Mingzhen took a sip of tea. "Wenci discussed it with me last night."
"Sister, why did you agree?" Xu Mingjing was shocked.
She always thought that Xu Mingzhen should be helping her.
"Let's take a look at these." Xu Mingzhen didn't say much and then took out two ledgers.
They were the same ledgers that Tan Wenci threw at Yuan Zhengwen this morning.
Xu Mingzhen expected that Xu Mingjing would come to her. She knew it would be today, but just not sure what time.
That's why Xu Mingzhen asked Tan Wenci to leave her two copies.
