Ji Shuran was smiling as she listened to the ladies complimenting Jiang Youyao when suddenly Granny Sun approached her and whispered something in her ear. Ji Shuran nodded, her eyes flashing with delight.
Lady Ji Chen also looked toward Ji Shuran and, seeing her satisfied smile, nodded along with a smile of her own.
Lady Lu, watching all this, caught sight of Jiang Li's empty seat and seemed to understand. She purposefully moved closer to Ji Shuran and asked, "Eldest sister-in-law, why hasn't Little Miss Li returned yet?"
"Lili complained of severe dizziness," Ji Shuran said with a smile, "I didn't expect her tolerance to be so low. It's understandable, though, after her eight years on Green City Mountain. She couldn't drink in the temple and hasn't had much alcohol before, so she was easily overwhelmed by a bit of fruit wine."
By saying this, she brought up the past events when Jiang Li was cast out of her family for the murder of her mother and sibling.
