Duan Ling, who was enjoying the show from the sidelines, burst out laughing. "HA HA! Auntie, I completely agree with you!"
Hearing the laughter and chatter outside, Zhi Wan couldn't help but smile as well.
Ouyang Zhenzhu said with envy, "Madam Lu is so good to you. Not like my mother, who only knows how to dock my monthly allowance. Sigh, I really wish we could trade places."
Zhi Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If Auntie Ouyang heard you say that, she'd be heartbroken."
"Hmph, as if she would," Ouyang Zhenzhu retorted with a pout.
Before long, the group set off.
When Lu Jinglan came out with her bundle, she saw the carriage pulling away in the distance.
Her heart sank. Unwilling to give up, she chased after the carriage for a few steps, but her legs were too weak. After just a short sprint, she fell to the ground.
