The Jiang Family estate was exceptionally busy again that day.

To ensure Li Chen could spend a comfortable stretch of time with the Jiang Family, the beautiful matron Jiang Ningyue had racked her brains.

Dinner was prepared with the finest local ingredients, while even the tea and pastries were of a quality reserved for special supply.

As she worked, Dong Zhiqing asked who had come to visit the Jiang Family.
