It was a little late today, so she didn't do anything else and just rested after dinner.
When Liu heard that Shen Nian and Xia Tian had returned safely, her face became terribly gloomy.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really lucky!"
The next day, she left the house, saying she was going back to her parents' home, and did not return until dark.
The next day, when Xia Tian went to pay his respects in the morning, he felt Liu's sinister gaze glancing at him.
I thought I had offended her again and kept rolling my eyes in my heart.
She pretended not to know about Cui Ling's affairs and waited for her opportunity.
After breakfast, she dug out two pieces of brocade from her own storeroom, and took out a set of jewelry and a set of four treasures of the study, and then took Ningxiang and Cuiling to thank the second lady.

"Third brother, you're so hardworking, there's no doubt you'll have no problems." Xia Tian complimented with a smile, "Second aunt will just wait for third brother to pass the exam and welcome his new wife into the family."
"Then I'll take your good words." The Second Madam was also amused by her words. She had been busy with this matter for a while, and was afraid of disturbing Shen Rui's studies, so she didn't tell him.
