Chapter 801 - 683, Drifted Away
Yan Residence, Flower Chamber.
"I had my eye on that pot of Junzi Orchid before," sighed Yan Yishuang, after tiring of reading. She brought her maid to admire the flowers in the flower chamber and walked around, but could not spot her beloved orchids, prompting her to inquire with the gardener.
Bowing, the gardener replied, "Lady Gan Tang, close to Madam, took that pot of Junzi Orchid."
Yan Yishuang furrowed her brows. "I remember my elder sister-in-law does not even like orchids."
It was then that Liuyun, the maid at her side, spoke up, "It must be the third and fourth young ladies from the Han Family visiting again—they really don’t hold back. This is the second time."
"Last time when you liked the Chunju, because the third young lady from Han said she liked it, your elder sister-in-law gave it to her without a second thought. I wonder if it was the third or the fourth young lady from Han who liked that pot of Junzi Orchid this time?" The tone carried a hint of complaint.
Hearing this, Yan Yishuang’s expression darkened, but she still scolded Liuyun, "Is my elder sister-in-law someone you can gossip about? Be mindful of what is appropriate to say and what is not."
Liuyun quickly admitted her mistake and, noticing the displeasure on Yan Yishuang’s face regarding the Han sisters, was not very afraid and smilingly changed the topic, "Miss, let’s look at other flowers."
Yan Yishuang wandered around the flower chamber and, seeing her favored Junzi Orchid was gone, lost interest in admiring the flowers. She glanced around a few times before leaving. On her way back, she passed by Yan Wenxiu’s yard and heard laughter coming from inside.
"Miss, would you like to go in and see the third young lady from Han and the others?"
