Moreover, there's a saying that goes, "You don't hit a smiling face."
After some polite refusal, Lian Lanlan's gift was finally accepted.
Lian Lanlan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her smile relaxed considerably.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian said they wanted to take a walk in the manor. Xiao Qi volunteered to accompany them. Lian Shouxin and Wu Lang invited Song Hailong to the study, leaving the front hall to the womenfolk.
Lady Li, Lady Zhang Wang, Zhang Caiyun, Lady Zhang, Lian Zhizhi, Lian Lanlan, and Lian Huahua all sat on the kang. Aunt Sun and Xiao Hong each took a small stool and sat on the floor.
Lian Manman poured some tea and sat on the edge of the kang as well.
Lady Zhang, Lian Lanlan, and Lian Huahua had little to say. It was Lian Lanlan who greeted Lady Li, praised Zhang Caiyun, and inquired about Lian Zhizhi's wedding plans, showing great familiarity and closeness.
