After punishing herself with three cups of wine, Jin Qianqian began to chat with the people around her. Everyone was unsure whether this meant the incident was over. These lingering doubts made the banquet's atmosphere especially cautious. However, Jin Qianqian seemed completely oblivious to it all. She ate and drank as usual, and was even in the mood to tell a few small jokes.
Just as they finished a joke and were chuckling softly, Mrs. Liang He suddenly spoke up. "Mrs. Gu, although we know you are quite wealthy, we are all official's wives. We can't bring the stench of merchants' money among us. This isn't elegant for Mr. Gu, either. It's better if you show some restraint normally."
These words were rather impolite, causing the previously cheerful table to suddenly fall silent.
Jin Qianqian picked up her cup and raised it across the air in a toast to Lady Liang. "Lady Liang is so thoughtful, considering things that I hadn't even thought of."
