Qin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
Shen Changle always had a festive demeanor, but he was good at keeping secrets.
Seeing Cui Ming made him so happy; either he wasn't avoiding Cui Ming, or he had received some great news that he couldn't calm himself.
Qin Yuan said, "Oh? I wonder what they've been discussing to be so happy."
Cui Ming said, "It must be business. Shen Changle and Gu Shiliu often whisper together about how to get back at Book Sea Pavilion."
The two walked past flowers and willows, and as they reached the front corridor, Gu Shiliu greeted them enthusiastically, saying, "Madam has arrived, the Marquis has been waiting impatiently."
Cui Ming was worried, "With all this back and forth, the food might have gone cold."
Gu Shiliu said, "No matter, the food boxes haven't been opened yet, and it's only early autumn now. If Madam feels it's cold, I can have someone reheat it. We're very quick."
It's just a matter of a few ups and downs.
