After exchanging a glance, Second Master Jiang and Third Master Jiang each found a quiet place to stay.
As for the young man who was with the Marquis of Changping, he disappeared without a trace, along with Zhou Yuan...
Madam Jiang and her entourage were similarly neglected by the female guests.
Besides Madam Jiang and her four daughters flitting among the noble ladies like butterflies, Second Madam Jiang and Third Madam Jiang, each with their own daughters, sat down in a pavilion at Second Madam Jiang's suggestion.

Pointing to the bamboo grove that was faintly visible beside her, she said, "Sixth Sister, take me to that bamboo grove over there to cool off!"
