Lin Youning's arrival caused a slight surprise among the people at the table. After all, Wu Xueqin was an aunt in the Marquis Mansion, and whether she was tainted or not was unknown to everyone. But now, having left the Marquis Mansion, she couldn't erase her past involvement with the mansion. As for Lin Youning, she grew up in the Marquis Mansion, which put her in a superior position compared to Wu Xueqin, who wasn't even considered a master.
Logically, given their past relationship, Wu Xueqin shouldn't have invited Lin Youning. But unexpectedly, Wu Xueqin did invite her.
Everyone watched the two with the anticipation of drama, but throughout the meal, Wu Xueqin was there entertaining guests, looking confident with nothing untoward showing. The same went for Lin Youning, sitting there composedly, letting everyone inquire about her while secretly observing Wu Xueya.
