On the day of the birthday banquet, Lin Jiaojiao got up early, and although she was reluctant, she still followed the rules and received those visiting ladies.
A group of women chattered nonstop but didn't bother to visit Old Madam Chen first, crowding into her courtyard instead.
This day was lively indeed, but also quite annoying to the heart.
Some people harbored ill intentions, always trying to push their daughters onto her Yan Sihan, not even being discreet about it in front of her. In the end, she did not give these people a good look either.
As the old saying goes, a toad wants to eat swan meat.
After the birthday banquet, it was time to return to the Capital. The next day, they packed up their things and planned to set off in the afternoon.
"Jiaojiao, now that you're leaving, I don't know when you'll be back," the old lady said with a touch of sadness, patting her hand gently.
