It was Jiang Chenyue who noticed the unusual tension between the two and stepped in to smooth things over, "Xi is too headstrong, just like her brother. The two siblings bicker from time to time, and I don't even bother to comment on it. Alright, since it's an unresolved issue, we don't need to waste time on it."
"It's almost seven o'clock already, hasn't Qin Jun finished yet?"
She craned her neck but couldn't see the situation in the kitchen, gently patting Rong Yan's hand, she invited, "Yan, would you like to go have a look with me?"
"Sure."
Jiang Chenyue led her to the kitchen, inadvertently leaving Chu Xi as the odd one out.
The servants in Chu Garden were busy in the living room preparing for the dinner, people occasionally passed by, making Chu Xi feel as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
She wanted to follow them, yet felt it would be beneath her to force her way in.
