The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law in the room all looked at Cheng Wu at the door.
"Mother, Master Ji said he'd like to come and experience our Xinghua Village buffet tomorrow. He also invited Madam Shen and Miss Xue to join us!"
Cheng Wudao.
"Oh, that's right! Hanyu, we need to prepare a table for Hanyu and her grandmother. I wonder if these wealthy families still have the custom of having men and women sit at separate tables."
Jiang slapped his forehead.
"Who cares if he talks or not! Anyway, we don't have this custom in Xinghua Village. They are guests, so they have to follow the customs of our host family!"
Cheng Wu pursed his lips and said.
"Mom, Ah Wu is right. When the time comes, the three elders of our village, plus Uncle Lizheng and Dad, will accompany Master Ji, Mr. Xie, and Mr. Huang. Oh, Ah Wu, will Hanyu's uncle come?"
Gu Xuelan has already started allocating seats for special guests.
"I don't know. When he first came back, Master Ji only said that he would come with Old Madam Shen and Miss Xue. He knew the old lady, and their two families were old friends in Jiangnan."
Cheng Wu replied.
"That's fine. Mother and A-Yue will greet Old Madam Shen, Miss Xue, Miss Huang, Madam Xie, and Madam Huang, and I'll greet the guests outside. It's settled. Add one table, four tables in the courtyard, and thirty tables outside. Let me do the math. Our village..."
Gu Xuelan began to estimate the number of people who would come.
Jiang also joined in.
Cheng Yue looked at Cheng Wu who turned around to leave and followed him.
"Second brother, wait, I have something to tell you!"
The brother and sister came under the big tree in the yard.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Wu looked at Cheng Yue in confusion.
"Has Master Ji not asked you to go somewhere else to look for your second sister-in-law recently?"
Cheng Yue asked.
"No. Although there aren't many people with the surname Ji in our Great Qi, there are still quite a few. How could we easily find another person named Ji Feifei?"
Cheng Wu said dejectedly.
"Second brother, do you think it's possible that Second Sister-in-law didn't tell you her real name?"
Cheng Yue asked again.
"How is that possible? Feifei is a decent person. She and I are already married and have children. There's no reason for her to lie to me!"
Cheng Wu denied Cheng Yue's statement without hesitation.
“Oh, I thought that with the help of Master Ji, we could find the second sister-in-law faster!”
Cheng Yue smiled with a silly look, which made Cheng Wu want to say something to her, but he held back, thinking that his sister was concerned about his wife.
"Come on, second brother! Don't worry, we'll definitely find second sister-in-law soon."
Cheng Yue clenched her fists and cheered Cheng Wu on.
"Yes, I believe it."
Cheng Wu smiled sincerely.
The brother and sister talked for a few more words and then went about their business.
Throughout the whole process, Cheng Yue didn't let Cheng Wu feel that anything was wrong.
She had been thinking about Ji Feifei's identity these days, and she couldn't decide whether to tell Cheng Wu after Xue Hanyu told her about Lord Ji's attitude.
Now that Master Ji was coming to their house for a buffet, she wanted to chat with him for a few minutes to find out what Master Ji meant, and then decide whether to tell Cheng Wu.
"Jin Yan, aren't you sleeping yet?"
After everyone in the family had gone to bed, Cheng Yue saw that the lights in her two nephews' rooms were still on. She walked over and saw that their scholar Gongzheng was sitting at the desk in a daze with a sad face, his face supported by his hands. He looked very cute.
"Auntie, I can't sleep!"
Cheng Jinyan said with a sad face.
"Did you deliberately wait until your mother fell asleep and then light the lamp?"
Cheng Yue glanced at Cheng Wen's room and asked with a smile.
