Aunt Xi nodded gently, brushed her belly with her fingertips, and murmured, "Yes..."

She looked worried, but Ruan Yuluan comforted her, "Auntie, you should relax a little. It's not good for the fetus to worry like this all the time."

The young woman with beautiful eyes and eyebrows nodded slightly, "That's what you said."

The girl talked to her for a while, and then she saw Aunt Zhu walking into the pavilion.

Aunt Zhu had been busy for half a day, and even a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, but it was rare to see her so energetic and high-spirited, and she greeted everyone with a smile.

Aunt Zhu made reforms that allowed women in the inner courtyard to bring their children to enjoy the flowers and have fun, which added a bit of liveliness to the place.

The Ruan family's garden is carefully maintained by someone. Although it is not as good as the exotic flowers and plants in the homes of the powerful, it is not inferior.

An official's wife smiled and praised Aunt Zhu: "Your garden is really nice."

Aunt Zhu showed no trace of her usual cautiousness and agreed with a big smile.

Ruan Yuluan couldn't help but frown slightly, realizing that something was wrong.

"What's there to be proud of!" At this moment, a sarcastic sneer came to her ears. The girl raised her eyes and saw Ruan Yuxi turned her head away and sneered.

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone present to hear. Aunt Zhu's smile remained the same, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her and talk to Aunt Su.

They were never this close before.

Ruan Yuluan's mind could not help but move slightly. She stood up and walked forward, sitting next to Sanniangzi, who was staring at the green water in a trance. She called her several times before she came back to her senses.

The young girl curled her lips slightly and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu's banquet is really unique and lively! I didn't expect that someone as taciturn as Mrs. Zhu could have such a clever idea..."

When Sanniang heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and leaned close to her ear to explain in a low voice.

"How could this be Aunt Zhu's idea? This was all my mother's plan for her."

Ruan Yuluan couldn't help but show a slight surprise on her face. But she understood in her heart that it was no wonder that Zhu and Su were so close now.

It's just that the hosting of the Mid-Autumn family banquet was all thanks to Aunt Zhu. What benefit can Aunt Su get by getting involved in it?

Her eyes fell on Aunt Su's profile, which contained a faint smile, and her brows slightly furrowed.

Aunt Su... Second Madam... Third Madam...

Aunt Su was sickly and had been living in seclusion for many years. She had a pair of daughters, but she could not expect to be spoiled. What interests did Aunt Su have to rush to get involved in this matter?

The sounds of singing, reciting, and acting on the stage, mixed with the endless laughter of the ladies around her, interrupted her thoughts and she couldn't think of anything.

At this time, Lady Six gently pulled her and said with a smile, "Sister Five, go to the front and feed the fish."

There are many plump golden-red koi in the lotus pond. Under the sunlight, they swim back and forth among the emerald green lotus leaves, wagging their tails, looking particularly lively and beautiful.

The third lady had already stood up. The girl nodded slightly and stood up. Looking up, she realized that Ruan Yufu was dressed a little thinly today, in a lake blue silk skirt with only a light pink spring shirt on the outside, which made her figure look even more slender and graceful.

She thought to herself, isn't it cold? As the other party came forward, she took the fish food and stood beside Sanniangzi. When she bent down to look at the koi in the pond, Sanniangzi smiled and called her.

"Fifth sister," she pointed to the other side, "there are more fish over there, don't take my place."

This was even more abnormal. Ruan Yuluan was puzzled. The Third Lady had never been such a fussy and stingy person. Why did she want to take up even a seat today?

However, she did not argue with the other party. She nodded slightly, turned around and left.
