"What is this?" Madam Kang laughed and said, "Doctor Qin is honoring me with such an invitation, I am so pleased. Doctor Qin, don't worry, I will definitely be there on time."
Madam Kang was overly enthusiastic, which made Xiao Ruo suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face. She curled her lips and was about to say something when a maid came in to report to Madam Kang, "Madam, Elder Kang requests an audience."
Madam Kang frowned slightly with displeasure, "Nonsense, doesn't he know I'm entertaining guests?"
Xiao Ruo was unsure whether Madam Kang and Elder Kang were putting on an act for her, so she stood up and said, "Madam Kang, I need to go to the market to buy some items for the banquet. I'll take my leave now, and we'll meet at the agreed location later."
Madam Kang paused for a moment and stood up as well, "I'll escort Doctor Qin out."
After she finished speaking, Madam Kang instructed the maid who reported earlier, "Let Elder Kang wait in the side room."
