Madam Tang glanced at her and said, "Why should she be angry with me? This little thing between men doesn't affect our relationship, maybe if it were more serious."
Manbao pondered and then confidently said, "The fine money doesn't belong to Madam Han?"
Madam Tang burst into laughter, gave her a knowing look, and said, "You're clever."
Manbao chuckled and pulled Zhou Liru along to see if they could catch a glimpse of Miss Fenghua.
The two sneaked close to the lotus pond, tiptoeing to peek around. A boat was slowly approaching the shore, and the aunt and niece watched excitedly.
Two servants stepped off the boat, laid a thick wooden board from the boat to the shore, and then several young girls in dance costumes sprang off the boat, jumping onto the shore with joy.
