Lu Sangjiu had just picked up her chopsticks when she heard a woman's soft, gentle voice from the courtyard.
"Cousin, are you home?"
The voice struck Lu Sangjiu as exceptionally familiar. The moment she heard it, she couldn't help but frown, a wave of disgust rising from deep within her.
But after a moment's confusion, she suddenly remembered... Right, the visitor must be Gu Jue's cousin, Ye Zhiyao.
She didn't notice that Gu Jue, beside her, had a similar reaction. He frowned first, then seemed to recall something, the confusion and displeasure in his eyes slowly fading.
"Wife, my cousin is here. Let's go out and see her."
Gu Jue's words snapped Lu Sangjiu back to her senses. She quickly stood up and walked out of the wooden cabin with him.
Ye Zhiyao was carrying a bamboo basket. When she saw the two of them... no, to be precise, when she saw Gu Jue emerge, a sweet smile immediately graced her face as she hurried over.
