In the indoor dining room, Su Jiaoniang and Madam Feng had a simple meal.
When Madam Feng saw the husky pacing around the small table, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes: "This is quite rare. Who gave it to you?" She added with a hint of mockery at the end.
Su Jiaoniang said angrily, "It's not for me. Mr. Gu likes Xiaoya and had it given to her as a gift."
As I finished speaking, I still felt a little wistful.
That person left, so why did they suddenly come back? And why did they leave with that last sentence?
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. She knew perfectly well that the life of a young widow suited her best, but when she encountered someone who stirred her hormones, she would always have all sorts of thoughts.

"Sister Su, I picked some mushrooms from the mountain. My brother said you like mushroom stewed chicken, so he asked me to bring them to you!" Gu Li's voice came from outside.

Lu Congrong ignored her explanation: "I have a money-making opportunity here, do you want to do it?"
"What's the matter?" Gu Li gripped the basket tightly and stared at Lu Congrong.
Lu Congrong said, "To become the magistrate's son's concubine!"
"!!!" Concubine, the magistrate's son, Gu Li wavered. Although the young master she saw in Su Jiaoniang's courtyard was very handsome, dashing, and wealthy, he was far away. She didn't know if she would have a chance to get what she wanted, no matter how hard she tried.
But the magistrate's son lives in the county town, so he can't escape.
