Jiang Ning, having consumed an array of snacks and fruits, talked at length with her Third Brother and decided to dine at Lin Zizi's place at midday.
Lin Zizi cherished her company and wished she could always stay at home and be within her sight every day.
Lin Zizi paid no mind to what Jiang Ning and her brother discussed. When she observed the siblings whispering and interacting harmoniously, she felt delighted, eating an extra bowl at lunch.
After lunch, Aunt Liu and Aunt Bai came over. Seeing the siblings together, they both wore expressions of envy.
Their daughters had also married and left home, but despite not being part of the Imperial Palace, their freedom paled in comparison to that of Jiang Ning.
Except for holidays and birthdays, there were scarce opportunities for them to return home.
