Miss Su frowned. She could tell that this was a container of Zhengshan tea, one of the best quality sencha teas around. Every year, Old Duke Ying would only be able to get two containers of this fine tea. Last year, Old Duchess Ying had bestowed one of them to the second branch. She hadn’t expected that this tea had somehow landed in Miss Yuan’s hands.

How could Miss Su know of the reason behind this? Miss Yuan was so determined to disgrace Chu Lian today that she had prepared a lot more than just some fine tea. Furthermore, she hadn’t pleaded with her parents to get this tea, she had just stolen it directly from her father’s study.

Shock showed in Miss Fu’s eyes, but she only pressed her lips together without saying anything.

“Miss Yuan, you…” Miss Su was about to say something, but was interrupted by Miss Yuan before she could continue.

“What’s wrong, Fifth Sister? Look at how poorly they’re treating their guests. Why can’t I bring my own tea to drink?”

How was this poor treatment? It was clearly Miss Yuan who was picking at the most trivial matters and making a mountain out of an anthill!

The handmaid turned to Guilin Restaurant’s maidservants to request for some tea-brewing tools. However, another handmaid opened up the box of food. Without waiting for Senior Servant Zhong to come back with snacks, the second handmaid carefully brought out plate after plate of exquisite snacks and placed them on the table.

This time, even Miss Fu had joined Miss Su in staring at Miss Yuan with a strange look in her eyes.

They could tell that these snacks had come from De’an Restaurant. What’s more, the plates had lotus flower patterns, so this was clearly the best assortment of snacks in the whole capital, as established by high-class society. Of course, it wasn’t cheap. A small box of this assortment cost more than ten taels.

As young ladies of House Ying, their monthly allowances didn’t even hit ten taels!

This time, Miss Yuan had really given an arm and leg for her little ploy!

Upon receiving the weird looks from her sisters, the corners of Miss Yuan’s lips lifted into a smile instead.

“What are you doing blanking out like that? Come and eat some! I got these snacks from De’an Restaurant. We don’t get to eat these often in the estate.”

Miss Su’s expression turned even more stern and she gave a warning to Miss Yuan, “Seventh Sister, remember that we’re here to give our congratulations and not for other motives.”

Miss Yuan reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake. “What are you thinking about, Fifth Sister? I haven’t done anything at all, have I?”

Chu Lian was currently attending to Lady Yang and Royal Princess Duanjia in Earth Court 1 when a servant sent by Manager Qin came to report that her sisters from House Ying had arrived.

When Royal Princess Duanjia heard the report, she immediately rolled her eyes. “What have they come here for?”
