It was the second watch of the night.
-----------------
As the dumplings were being taken out of the pot, Lin Yanqiu received a call from Zhu Xinqin. After listening to what the other party said, Lin Yanqiu was utterly stunned. Today was Little New Year, with only seven days until the New Year, and then, the two children were going to get married before the New Year...
When she sat down at the table, Lin Yanqiu was still doubting the authenticity of the news. However, whether it was true or not, since Zhu Xinqin had called, she had to pass on the message. Otherwise, she'd certainly be accused of hiding it out of jealousy.
Although she didn't know what there was to be jealous of, she just couldn't afford to have that reputation.
Clearing her throat, Lin Yanqiu announced, "I have some good news to share first. Jing Zhe is about to get married. Zhu Xinqin just called to tell me this news."
