The Wu family is hosting guests today, and at this Chinese hour, guests were arriving one after another. Those entering the backyard were women closely associated with the Wu and Lian families, all of whom Lian Manman recognized. Among them were Lady Da Zhou, Yuchang's wife along with her daughter-in-law and Er Ya, the old Mrs. Lu from the Lu family, Lady Wu Wang, and Wu Jiayu, who all gathered in Lian Zhizhi's room.
Lady Zhang and her daughters all put on cheerful faces and no longer discussed Lady Zhang's past events.
The topic naturally shifted to Lian Zhizhi's pregnancy. Soon, the room split into two groups. Lian Manman, Wu Jiayu, and Er Ya gathered together, chatting about topics like embroidery and other subjects girls usually talk about.
"Manman, your embroidery has really improved. The pouch you gave me this year was so beautifully made, I couldn't bear to put it down," Wu Jiayu said to Lian Manman.
