Li sat beside the Luohan bed, her eyes fell on the food plates on the kang table, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Then she picked up a handkerchief and gently pressed the corners of her mouth, and the smile lines were just covered up.

In the past, the moment Wang entered the room, she would stand up from the bed and respectfully give up her seat to her.

As usual, after Gu Jinchu sat down slowly, Li also sat down.

After all, she arrived at Yuanyuan Hall earlier than Wang, and she thought that there must be a first-come-first-served rule.

After Wang entered the room, she first glanced at Li, then her eyes fell on the kang table, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Said: "Oh, isn't this a coincidence? The pastry shop that my younger sister mentioned is opened by my fifth brother's wife."

When Wang Yuran heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and she said to Gu Jinchu, "I didn't expect that the Fifth Madam was the boss behind this!"

She sat in the chair, put away her facial expression, smiled gracefully and said, "When I tasted these snacks at home, I felt that these were the most delicious. I also thought that if my sisters liked them, I would ask them to send more when I got home. It's me, the younger sister, who is short-sighted."

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and looked at the egg tarts, tiger skin cake rolls and puffs on the plate on the kang table.

In her opinion, it was not difficult to find that these three pastries were obviously not freshly baked today.

Since she was brought here by the mother and daughter, and Wang also knew that she was the owner of Jinsu Dianshi Bureau, how could Wang Yuran not know?

Today's behavior is really deliberate and makes people feel unhappy.

Gu Jinchu looked up at Wang and couldn't help but feel puzzled. These words and actions were totally unlike her usual style.

So he smiled and said, "Didn't you get enough rest last night, sister-in-law?"

Wang only had a gentle smile on her face, but the makeup on her face could not hide the dark circles under her eyes.

She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Fifth brother's wife has good eyesight. I haven't seen my mother and little sister for a long time. We chatted a little late last night."

After that, she picked up a piece of tiger skin cake roll, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently. After swallowing it, she drank a sip of tea, seeming to enjoy it very much, and then continued:

"No wonder Third Sister-in-law likes to come to Fifth Sister-in-law's place. The tea here tastes so sweet." After saying that, she turned her gaze to Li, with a hint of concern in her eyes:

"I heard that my third sister-in-law injured her foot yesterday. Today, she looks better than ever."

His words were kind and his attitude was gentle, as if the unpleasantness that had occurred between them in Songtao Garden yesterday had never happened.

Li, who had just thought the snacks were delicious, suddenly lost her appetite after hearing what Wang said.

She smiled and replied, "Thanks to my sister-in-law, the predicament of the Third Master today can be easily solved. This is probably what it means when a person is happy and in high spirits."

In the past, Wang and Li always sang the same tune, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, bullying the sisters-in-law.

The atmosphere between them right now is a little subtle, as if they are about to become enemies.

Gu Jinchu wondered in her heart, if they quarreled in her Yuanyuan Hall, which side should she, as the master, side with?

For some reason, Doubao, who had been so well-behaved when eating the dried fish just now, suddenly became a little anxious and restless.

Gu Jinchu held Doubao in his arms, scratched its chin gently, and comforted it silently.

Several masters of Lanyuan had a quarrel last night. Although most of the people stationed there had been cleared out, Wang still knew what had happened, including the fact that Mr. Jiang San went to see the Crown Prince.

But at the moment, I feel powerless to do anything about the prince's decision.

Wang Yuran glanced at Li with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. She looked her up and down for several times, then smiled and said:

"Madam, your complexion is so good. I wonder where does your sister buy her makeup powder?"

Li raised her head and looked at Wang Yuran. When she heard the word "sister", she couldn't help but think of the annoying Aunt Zhao at home.

She held a handkerchief, rested her elbows on the table, tilted her head and looked at Wang Yuran, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and said, "I don't know if I should call you Mrs. Zhang or Miss Wang."

"You are in your twenties this year, right? You are neither a daughter of the Jiang family, nor a Jiang family woman who married into the Dingguo Mansion. In any way, you are not a member of the Jiang family, so there is no reason for you to address us as sisters!"
