Song Jiyun pushed a pair of pearl earrings into Zhao Qi's Wife's hand.
Yuan Yunzhong did not wear jewelry; she was going to the Kiln Factory dressed simply and neatly.
The earrings were essentially the only item of value they had on them.
Since they were staying over, they couldn't just eat and drink for free.
Zhao Qi's Wife was reluctant to accept them.
Song Jiyun exchanged pleasantries with her for a while before she finally accepted them.
Her treatment of them clearly became warmer as she said, "I'll get you some new bedding. It's what I've been saving for when I get a daughter-in-law."
Song Jiyun couldn't stop her and had to let her go.
But when she turned around, Yuan Yunzhong was already standing under the eaves, turning her head to look at her.
Song Jiyun was just about to ask what was wrong when Yuan Yunzhong turned her head back toward the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Zhao Qi was dragging a large tree suitable for a beam towards the east wing room.
