Tang Li was just about to reaffirm 'loyalty,' when the office door was knocked.
Seeing that the visitor was the secretary Cheng Ying, Tang Li didn't linger, and she left the office and went upstairs.
Since she had stayed over a few times, she had a designated guest room in the Tan Palace.
But Tang Li didn't return directly to the guest room.
She went first to the living room, and not seeing Xiao Minglan and Song Jingtian, Tang Li came out with her bag.
"Back from the hospital?"
Tang Li turned her head to see Aunt Min carrying a platter of fruit.
Aunt Min noticed she seemed idle, and informed her: "Old Madam is in the kitchen, Jingtian is there too. There are guests coming over tonight, and because there are dietary restrictions, they are now supervising a few chefs cooking."
"Are there other officials dining here tonight?"
If there were outsiders tonight, Tang Li didn't plan on making an appearance.
