Wu Lan's protection of her daughter-in-law caused Xu Ping and another person to refrain from saying anything further.
It seemed that Wu Lan was indeed satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
Wise people would never pick faults at such a time.
However, Xu Ping, who was on good terms with Wu Lan, hinted that she should let bygones be bygones and not hold grudges.
Wu Lan didn't take it to heart, though. She just lost her interest in playing mahjong, pushed the tiles aside, and said, "Forget it, I won't play anymore. I have things to do. You all find someone else to make up the numbers."

Of course, Xu Niannian had no idea what was happening on Wu Lan's side.
She was still at home making Liuyue Su, and the remaining thirty thousand Liuyue Su had also been ordered.
But just as she expected, the sales of these last thirty thousand were not as good as before.
However, it did buy Xu Niannian quite a bit of time.
