Chapter 490 - 487: Profound_1
The fireflies either flew between the trees or rested on the green moss at the tree roots. The chirping of cicadas and insects created a serene and warm atmosphere.
Bai Qingyan changed into a water-green outfit with camellia patterns and silver lotus flower borders, and a lotus-colored gauze skirt. She walked along the lit corridor and came to Qinghe Courtyard.
Inside the main room, Dong Tingzhen was sitting in front of the soft couch by the window, playing with a three-legged gilded beast-shaped incense burner. She replaced the incense with a calming fragrance she specially prepared for Mrs. Dong today and carefully explained to her the ingredients she used.
Bai Qingyan stood in the courtyard and looked towards the half-open window. She saw Dong Tingzhen under the lamp, holding a small brass spoon, elegantly adding incense to the burner, covering it, and smilingly asking Mrs. Dong to smell it.
Mrs. Dong lowered her head closer, gently waved her sleeve with her hand, and praised with a smile, "Hmm, the fragrance is deep and light, very pleasant."
"If Aunt likes it, I will write down the recipe next time. If Aunt doesn’t want to do it herself, Tingzhen can also do it for her..." Dong Tingzhen placed the silver spoon aside, smilingly said.
"The eldest girl is here!" Nanny Qin saw Bai Qingyan, quickly lifted the curtain and went out to greet her with a smile, "Madam is discussing incense with the cousin. Madam was once a master of making incense, but she has to admit our cousin is better!"
Nanny Qin’s words were full of praise for Dong Tingzhen, after all...since the Bai family incident, Mrs. Dong rarely smiled. The visit of Dong Tingzhen to Shuoyang had brought much joy to Mrs. Dong, often reminiscing about her youth at the Dong family.
