"She! She's actually so close with that little wretch?" Cheng Yuexiu slammed the carriage door hard, trembling with rage. She had gone to such lengths to get close to Ma Xiaonan, even going so far as to ingratiate herself, and yet she had never managed to make Ma Xiaonan be as affectionate with her. Look, what has Lin Yuan done? She managed to make her as happy as if she had seen her own sister-in-law!
Sister-in-law?
Cheng Yuexiu was horrified by her own thoughts. Yes, the intimate way those two were acting, wasn't it just like that of sisters-in-law?
Biting her lip hard, Cheng Yuexiu decided she no longer had the heart to watch the scene before her. Flinging the carriage curtain aside, she plonked down in the carriage, her resolve to have both Ma Junying and Ma Xiaonan in her grasp growing even stronger.
The banquet lasted almost three time periods, and it was only in the late afternoon that guests began to leave one after another.
