The Xie family's autumn appreciation banquet was naturally packed with guests. Almost everyone who received an invitation attended, including Guan Yurong and Liuli. Wei Yunshu was still under house arrest and did not come, but Wei Zhongshi did, as did Zhao Bi.
As for the others, that was fine, but what Madam Xie needed to resolve was the marriage alliance between the Marquis of Huainan's mansion and the Wei family. Naturally, she had a habit of killing two birds with one stone when doing things.
No one knows what someone whispered in Guan Yurong's ear, but she impulsively went to find Liuli. Liuli was also a formidable person. Guan Yurong not only didn't get the better of her, but also felt humiliated. Just then, something seemed to happen.

Hearing this, Guan Yurong roughly understood what was going on. She sneered, avoided the maid who came out, and when she saw that she was not from the Xie family, she was relieved. After the maid left, she immediately went behind the rockery to look for it. After searching for a while, she finally found a packet of medicine in a small cave.
Without hesitation, he stuffed it into his arms and then walked out as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she stepped out, two maids approached from the opposite direction, carrying food boxes. "Princess Liuli is really good with words. She managed to coax the old lady into giving her this Poria cocos cake. No other young lady in the entire capital has ever done that."
