Feng Jin waited until Wuma Jun found an excuse to send Princess An Yina away, then he suddenly sighed and said to Jiang Pengji, "You shouldn't have come to Shangjing."
The uproar downstairs died down with Fang Pangzi's departure. It returned to its quiet and elegant atmosphere.
Once she entered, Jiang Pengji unapologetically changed to a new tea set and steeped her tea. She swallowed a sip at lukewarm temperature and said, "Father is far off at Chongzhou; he cannot be at two places at a time and is unable to attend sister's wedding. I am the only male representing the family. If I am absent, who will come in my stead?"
Feng Jin said, "In that case, after your sister's marriage, please depart if you can."
Jiang Pengji became speechless and stopped smiling. She said, "We have been good friends for long time. Why are you chasing me away when we've just reunited?"
