Upon hearing that they were rewards from the palace, Ms. Hong quickly and deftly unearthed those few flowers from a pile of things, "Mingcui, is this it?"
"Yes, that's the one!"
Seeing the flowers, Ms. Hong pulled Yang Dongxue to one side with a smile and said, "Dongxue, wear one of these, given to you by your sister from the imperial palace. Not every cousin has the privilege to wear such a thing."
Auntie Li, having been provoked by the coordination between Ms. Luo and Ms. Hong, left without even saying goodbye, storming off in a huff.
Ms. Hong and Ms. Luo exchanged a glance and, for the first time, discovered they had quite a bit of tacit understanding between them!
But soon after, when each thought of her position in the family, they each snorted coldly and turned away.
Ms. Hong thought to herself, Ms. Luo is not that foolish either.
Mingcui stood aside, finding the whole scene rather amusing.
