Qi Yougui had sent everyone away, and the others, naturally not wishing to linger, had to get up and leave. Even Lady Zhang, who had been enjoying the commotion, and a few other women, could only leave full of regret.
As Lady Zhang was leaving, she did not forget to stretch her neck and say to Ye Xinyan, "Ye Zi, you should know that we're all family. If you want to teach someone how to make rice tofu, you should teach your own family first, you know?"
"Oh..." Ye Xinyan drawled, "So Aunt knows we're family? I thought Aunt was our Second Branch family's enemy." But internally, she found it amusing. How shameless must one be to trip someone up one moment and ask for favors the next?

After sending the villagers away, Qi Younian dropped his polite smile and, feeling completely exhausted, turned around to return home and invited Nanny Jin and Ye Xinyan inside.
