Having grown accustomed to the days with Chen Mo around, in his absence, Han Anniang, Liang Xue, Nangong Ru, Ning Wan, and the other women found themselves uninterested in food and drink.
With Xia Zhiqing, Xia Zhining, and Yi Shiyin also away, the place felt less lively, and the festive atmosphere was greatly diminished.
Even though it was already 1 a.m., Han Anniang and the other women were still awake. Since they couldn't sleep well, Han Anniang led her "sisters" to make dumplings together in the master bedroom.
Liang Xue, being a noble family lady, had never dipped her fingers into household chores, let alone made dumplings, so Han Anniang taught her hand-in-hand.
Ning Wan was also called over, but she was different from Liang Xue; she had learned to make them by hand to please Liang Song in the past.
Nangong Ru, on the other hand, had undergone training in the Nangong family.
