She didn't want to do this. It would only exhaust the last bit of affection she shared with Sheng Saya, but did she really have any room to refuse?
Biting her lower lip, Zhu Caiwei agreed to the task. The next day, dressed to the nines, she headed to the Prefectural Magistrate's Office to see Sheng Saya.
At that time, Zhang Lingxin, Wang Zhen, and the other young ladies who were generally on good terms with Sheng Saya were all present. Everyone had come to deliver congratulatory gifts. Those who were closer to her even complained, "To think you hid such a huge matter from us until now! Do you even consider us your friends?"
Sheng Saya laughingly coaxed them, and the girls soon broke into a playful uproar.
No one was surprised when Zhu Caiwei arrived. Everyone warmly invited her to take a seat, and even Sheng Saya held her hand with a beaming smile. "We were just waiting for you! What took you so long?" It was as if their previous estrangement had never existed.
