“I didn’t side with him today either. But no matter what, this is my house, I can’t just let you fight here.”
Lin Xihe hurriedly explained, trying to calm Gu Qinghuai's anger. She really didn't want to see the two of them fighting each other in her home and making the situation uncontrollable.
Just then, Ji Zhuo strode in carrying two jars of wine.
Lin Xihe gasped as she looked at the two large jars of wine, thinking: How long will this take? Someone's going to die if we finish it!

With so many things on my mind, even the most mouthwatering food looks tasteless and unappetizing in front of me.
At this moment, there was no sound at all in the flower hall.
Lin Xihe sat in the room, anxious but unwilling to send anyone to inquire about the situation. She could only wait in the silence, her heart pounding with worry, wondering what the situation was like over there.
