Jin Qianqian knew that Li Cuicui was still somewhat protective of Gu Yuanfeng. That whole tirade was just an attempt to make her resent Gu Yuanfeng a little less.
Liu Liu stepped forward to smooth things over. "Mother, it's getting late. Should we have the kitchen set up the tables here in the courtyard? The dining hall won't be able to fit everyone otherwise."
Li Cuicui remarked, "I thought this courtyard was spacious enough, but it seems it still won't do with so many people.
It's just that if we eat out here in the courtyard, the food will get cold quickly."
It was already late autumn. While it wasn't bone-chillingly cold, if they set up in the courtyard, the food would indeed get cold fast.
This was also why Jin Qianqian had scrapped the idea of having food catered from town. Instead, she'd had someone buy the ingredients and asked the cooks from several of the brothers' households to prepare a meal together.
