Lady Meng was very pleased to receive Qin Xiaoruo's invitation. She instructed the servants to prepare plenty of refreshments. Seeing Qin Xiaoruo arrive alone, Lady Meng couldn't help but gently reprimand her, "Why didn't you bring Xiangxiang along?"
Qin Xiaoruo smiled, "I wanted to, but the boy was sound asleep, and I couldn't bear to wake him up."
"Then you must bring him next time," replied Lady Meng.
Qin Xiaoruo's eyes flickered slightly, "Alright."
Lady Meng held Qin Xiaoruo's hand and said, "Just yesterday, I was talking to Sister Hua about wanting to visit you, but I wasn't sure if you were busy. I didn't expect you to send me an invitation. Next time, just come directly. There's no need to go through the trouble of sending an invitation."
Qin Xiaoruo smiled and agreed, but internally, she thought that she would only visit if someone from the Miao Family fell ill; otherwise, she wouldn't come again.
