Song Zhiqing, having mingled in officialdom for years, knew Lu's little schemes all too well. Hearing her deliberately ignore Bai Shuilian and her children, he felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
She is the Lady of the house as well, yet she was acting so petty.
But thinking about how he needed something from her, he suppressed his irritation and said, "That is true. Let the four of us go then."
On hearing this, Lu beamed and said, "Then Zhou'er and the others will surely be delighted. I will have someone inform them to come over."
As she stood up, Song Zhiqing pulled her back, saying, "No rush, let us talk for a while."
Lu sat back down.
Song Zhiqing fiddled with her hair bun and said, "Dear Xin, following me all these years has surely been hard on you."
Like performing a trick, he took out a jade phoenix tassel hairpin from his sleeve and placed it in her hair bun: "I bought it while passing by Shangbao Pavilion, it suits you well."
