At noon, Su Chaoyan invited Su Xinyi to join them for a meal, and also sent someone to call Su Jingmo and Su Xixian over. They even asked Mrs. Zeng to come out from her room and everyone greeted her warmly upon seeing her.
Mrs. Zeng had gained some weight, and her expression seemed more relaxed than before. The previous bitterness in her brow was less prominent. She laughed and said to her sisters-in-law, "I'm not made of porcelain, you don't need to worry about me. I'm much better than before. Mother also said I should get some fresh air and not stay in my room all the time."
They all sat down and chatted happily. Su Chaoyan asked the servants to bring various dishes and snacks and specially prepared red date lotus seed tea for her eldest sister-in-law.
