Madam Gu already knew that Qin Yuan's brother had come to visit again. She thought Qin Yuan would bring him to pay her respects again, so she quickly prepared another gift. However, the man came, sat for a short while, and then left in a hurry, without even giving him the gift.

Old Madam Gu then asked Rong Mama, "What is Yuan'er busy with?"

Rong Momo said, "If the old lady is worried, this old servant will go to Wutong Garden to sit for a while."

"Never mind, I was just asking casually. Yuan'er is very polite. Her brothers from her family are here, but I'm afraid they have something to do and can't come here. Hui-ge just left, and last night he told me to keep a close eye on his wife. I can't help but worry about her."

Rong Momo smiled and said, "Madam has a plan in mind. She will probably send someone to deliver the message soon."

As they were talking, Hongye brought over some soft and tender food and said, "Madam's cousin from her maternal family came over for a while and talked about some things. He originally wanted to come and pay his respects to the old lady, but things were a bit urgent, so he didn't have time. He will come again in a few days and will pay his respects to the old lady then."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "You were absolutely right."

Rong Momo smiled and said, "Madam is very sensible in her actions. As for Xiao Hong's matter, it's fortunate that she came up with a solution but didn't say anything herself. She just told Xiao Hong to listen to this old servant and teach the two children to be sensible. How could such a person do something impolite?"

Hongye was overjoyed to receive the old lady's reward and proudly showed it off to Qin Yuan and Cuiming.

Cui Ming smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about my bracelet anymore."

Hongye's bracelet is also made of similar quality materials, only the design is different. It is clear that they were purchased in bulk for special use as gifts.

Hongye sighed, "I really hope I can receive more rewards."

Qin Yuan remained silent, lost in thought under the lamplight, wondering why there hadn't been any response from Lord Gu after he told Gu Shiqi to inquire about the pepper...
