A large portion of dumplings were quickly consumed, and Tong Yao had already eaten her fill. Noticing that Si Xiaohui hadn't returned yet, she casually asked, "Mom, Xiaohui went to Lijuan's place, right?"

Lin Fengying replied while clearing up the dishes, "Lijuan hasn't returned from her tailoring apprenticeship, so she's probably at Xiulan's place. They've grown up together since childhood. They're very close, so there's no need to worry."

Tong Yao felt apprehensive, "Xiaohui went to Xiulan's place?"

Si Xiaohui had left in a huff. If she went to Ma Xiulan's place, what if she let slip what she had said to Ma Xiulan?

Ma Xiulan is a shrewd woman who might have run away by now.

"I suppose so!" Lin Fengying noticed the odd expression on Tong Yao's face and looked confused. "What's wrong?"

Tong Yao exchanged a glance with Si Chen, who apparently had thought of the same possibility. Si Chen sternly stood up, "I'm going to call Xiaohui back for dinner."
