"Everyone, please be patient and line up. One by one, everyone will get one." Shen Zhiyi's voice was gentle, showing no concern that her dress might get dirty.
The distribution of porridge continued for several days.
Song Yuxiu, however, never came.
Because Shen Zhiyi was out, Lin Yaoyao could openly go to find him. The two of them enjoyed themselves at the Marquis's mansion, with their mother-in-law and sister-in-law helping to cover for them, so they naturally had a great time.
“Miss, the people who followed the young master said that they were practically…” Hongrui was both ashamed and embarrassed, and stamped her foot in anger, “Miss, are we just going to put up with this?”
