After Lin Youning came back to life, this was the first time she entertained guests. Although she didn't do much, the whole day felt like it took a toll on her body.
After having lunch and seeing the guests off, she hurried back to the Warm Pavilion, changed into a cotton robe, and leaned casually on a soft couch with a sutra book. She hadn't read a few pages when Gu Er arrived.
"Did Second Brother come directly from Aunt's place?" Lin Youning, though displeased with Gu Er, still mustered the energy to entertain him.
Shanmoi and Hailan, who had been serving the young lady, could tell she wasn't close to the Second Young Master, so after serving tea, they stayed, standing by her side.
Gu Er was already feeling irritated today after seeing Xu Yuxian's gaze at Sister Ning. When he saw the servants being oblivious here, his face darkened, "Leave us. Can't you see the masters are speaking? Where are your manners? How were you taught the rules?"
