The girls giggled, raised their glasses and drank the wine together.
"Oh! This wine is so delicious." Li Shishi couldn't help but praise it.
"Yes! It's fragrant and sweet."
Ding Dusai quietly tugged at Zhang Shixun's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sir, you called us here today, there must be something wrong."
"Well, I'll talk to you later."
Li Shishi tugged at his right sleeve. "Mr. Zhang, you called us here today, is it...?"
"Madam Li, I'll tell you later."

Li Shishi said, "I won't spread it around, and I hope you sisters will keep your mouths shut."
The women nodded.
Zhang Shixun picked up a glass of wine, drank it all, and then said: "I tell you all this because I want to point out a clear path for you... Leave the capital and go to Jiangnan."
