Li Xiangyun led her down a side path. Finally, after turning a corner, they saw some greenery.
Calling it a small garden was honestly an exaggeration; it was merely a tiny courtyard of less than twenty square meters. It was likely used for entertaining guests, as a delicate little gazebo had been built within it.
"I rarely entertain guests in my home, so please excuse the modesty," Li Xiangyun said as she guided her guest into the gazebo, where several plates of fruit were already arranged on the table.
As for the "garden," it consisted of nothing more than a few resilient wildflowers in the corners, two small trees, and some unidentifiable shrubs.
"It's quite nice, small and elegant." Jin Qianqian withdrew her assessing gaze and smiled. "We are the ones who dropped by unannounced today. The true rudeness is ours."
"Let's not exchange such pleasantries between our two families." Li Xiangyun waved her hand, and several maidservants approached, carrying tea and pastries.
