Chu Qingning approached Chu Qingzhi, "Fifth Sister, Ruyue needs to discuss something with you. I'll handle things here; you can go ahead."
"Alright." After giving Chu Qingning a brief, Chu Qingzhi left for home.
As she departed, Li Ziyun, who had arrived early at the medicine pavilion to help, approached from its direction. She hesitantly called out, "Sister Qingning."
Chu Qingning was surprised, "How come you're here so early?"
Li Ziyun explained, "Dad wanted to help Sister Qingzhi finish the bamboo house as early as possible. I didn't have anything else to do, so I came along."
Chu Qingning smiled slightly, "Coming here first thing to help out your Fifth Sister, you're very kind."
"It's nothing." Li Ziyun shook her head, then hesitated before speaking, "Sister Qingning, can I discuss something with you?"
Chu Qingning nodded, "Go ahead."
