Yun Ying finished her cucumber, went to the well to scoop some water and wash her hands, and said to Juhua, "I was planning to eat at Wan'er's—she'd made so many dishes, and they were all my favorites. But Li Changyu had a classmate over, surnamed Chen. He was so annoying, asking me all sorts of questions. I couldn't be bothered with him, so I just told Wan'er I still had to take your pulse and came back first."
Juhua guessed she was likely talking about Chen Yu, the young master of the Chen Family, and asked in surprise, "If Changyu's classmate is visiting, shouldn't Changyu be entertaining him? You and Wan'er should have been in the inner courtyard. How did you run into him?"
