After a round of conversation, regardless of what was in their hearts, everyone was addressing each other as sisters, creating a particularly harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
The old Madame of the Marquis Residence smiled upon learning that Mrs. Xu intended to take Nalan Jinlian back to her parental home the next day, and immediately objected.
"Since Sister Lian has just returned, I, the old lady, have yet to dote on her enough. Let her stay for a few more days at the Marquis Residence before visiting your uncle. You go back first by yourself!"
Mrs. Xu wanted to say something, but in the end, she agreed.
Thus, Nalan Jinlian didn't end up going out after all.
Instead, she delivered the gifts, wandered around Qinglian Garden a few times, and flipped through all the books she had brought back from the border town, only to find none that she liked.
This made Nalan Jinlian even more suspicious in her heart.
