Zuo Xiangning felt a growing anxiety within her.
If her mother and her sister were not against her marrying Gu Zhiqing, what could she do then?
Would things somehow still end up following the trajectory of her previous life?
She had waited for Lingxiao for two days, but he had not come, which made Zuo Xiangning increasingly anxious.
On the third day, Princess Chang arrived with gifts in hand.
Zuo Xiangning feigned illness and did not go out to meet her.
She actually hoped that Princess Chang would think her rude; that would please her.
By noon, Madame Jiang arrived at Zuo Xiangning's courtyard, and seeing her lazily leaning on the luohan bed, she scolded, "I knew you were just being petulant—it's fortunate I stopped Princess Chang in time, otherwise if she saw you like this, what would become of us?"
Zuo Xiangning got up from the luohan bed and helped Madame Jiang sit down by the bed.
