“The long-haired gem-faced civet embroidered on the small screen looks like it’s sunny and lively,” her eldest maidservant, Fei Cui, added.

“Fei Cui, quickly go to the Jiahui Courtyard and get that small screen,” Gu Yunzhen hurriedly instructed.

“I’ll go with Sister Fei Cui.” Juan Bi’s eyes lit up as she volunteered to follow Fei Cui out.

There was no room for Gu Yanfei to speak the entire time. Gu Yunzhen was still talking non-stop. “Yanfei, that embroiderer who embroidered the screen, embroidered a wonderful double-sided embroidery. She’s especially good at embroidering cats and birds. I’ve seen a few of her embroideries and she’s indeed good at embroidering cats.”

“I’ll let her embroider a few more gem-faced civets. You can give them to others… Everyone likes the clear light. They’ll definitely like that ball of fans.”

“…” Gu Yanfei felt that it was a good thing that the cat wasn’t around. Otherwise, it would have been so proud of itself.

In the east room, only Gu Yunzhen’s cheerful voice was left. Occasionally, birds chirped outside the window, as if they were playing or objecting.

In the afternoon, Yuheng Garden returned to its usual peace. Until dusk, after the sunset, the Gu Mansion welcomed guests again—

Wei Jiaoniang was back again, but this time, she came alone.

“Yanfei, All Qin has been locked up by her mother.” As soon as they met, Wei Jiaoniang pouted and complained angrily. “Second Madam Lu scolded her ruthlessly, saying that she’s insensible. The two families have already exchanged invitations, so how can she cancel the engagement just like that? If word gets out, won’t her reputation be ruined?”

“Sigh, we tried our best to persuade her and told her everything you said, but she wouldn’t listen no matter what.”

Wei Jiaoniang said angrily. She was so angry that smoke was about to rise from her head.

She had already said everything she could. She was just short of talking about her grandaunt and Xu Yan’s family. However, no matter what they said, Second Madam Lu scoffed and looked at them as if they were children fooling around. Wei Jiaoniang took the warm tea from Juan Bi and drank three cups in one go. She still felt aggrieved and muttered, “I used to think that Ah Qin’s mother’s personality was quite good. She was much gentler than my mother and grandmother. I only realized today that her personality is so…”

After a pause, she considered a word. “Stubborn.”

This was actually a euphemism.

Wei Jiaoniang sighed weakly and glanced at Gu Yanfei with a complicated expression.

Actually, she still had some things to hide. When Second Madam Lu heard that Gu Yanfei had warned them not to get married, she said something unpleasant and eccentric.

“So it’s Second Lady Gu from the Gu family. 1 wonder what she’s up to, insisting on ruining Sister Qin’s marriage.”

“It’s a pity that the Gu family has lost their title, but there must be something hateful about this pitiful person. As the saying goes, it’s better to tear down 10 temples than destroy a marriage. In pursuit of the future of the Gu family, she ingratiated herself with others, stirred up trouble without reason, and even jeopardized the marriages of innocent people, showing no fear of consequences.”

“Jiaoniang, 1 advise you to interact less with Second Lady Gu in the future, lest you’re led astray by her.”

Second Madam Lu’s words were still ringing in her ears. At that moment, Wei Jiaoniang was so angry that she almost overturned the table. For Lu Qin’s sake, she left in the end.

At the thought of this, the anger in Wei Jiaoniang’s heart rose again. She gulped down the fourth glass of water.

Although Wei Jiaoniang didn’t say it, Gu Yanfei could tell from her face that Second Madam Lu’s words weren’t very pleasant.

“Yanfei, what should we do?” Wei Jiaoniang stretched out two fingers and gently tugged at Gu Yanfei’s sleeve. She was extremely worried. “Second Madam Lu insisted that her fiance is very good.”

“She said that Hua Xi, at the age of 16, achieved the top score in the imperial examination and became the top scholar. He possessed remarkable literary talent and even studied under the renowned scholar Wang Yi in Qingzhou. Wang Yi praised him, saying that in the next examination, Hua Xi would surely succeed and had a great chance of becoming a top scholar with three top honors. She claimed that a young scholar of such talent, with a noble family background and impeccable character, would be difficult to find even with a lantern.”

“From her tone, she can’t wait to get All Qin to marry Hua Xi as soon as possible. She’s afraid that she’ll miss this good son-in-law surnamed Hua.” Wei Jiaoniang frowned. The lines on her eyebrows could kill mosquitoes, making them stand out on her beautiful face.

She stared at Gu Yanfei’s face worriedly and said, “Hua Xi sounds good, but I keep feeling that something is wrong.. This marriage is set too quickly…”
