This simply delighted Zhao Shi to the point of ecstasy.
She had been only half-convinced by Lu Tong's words, but now that she had witnessed their effectiveness with her own eyes, she finally felt relieved.
After slimming down a bit, Zhao Shi had her servants go to Qingyi Pavilion in Shengjing to make several dresses of Moonlight Gauze. With her figure trimmed and her makeup lightened, she looked ethereal and graceful in her gauzy attire—so different from her former vibrancy. It was a refreshing change for Fan Zhenglian, and their marital affection had grown even stronger than before. Perhaps before long, she could truly embody the exquisite beauty who dances in the palm of a hand and be worthy of the name "Fei Yan."
As for Lu Tong, Zhao Shi noticed that Lu Tong always visited in the afternoon and left before dusk, conveniently avoiding the days Fan Zhenglian was on official duty. As Lu Tong was reticent and didn't pry upon entering the mansion, she seemed to be very proper.
