The gift boxes Xiaoqi packaged were all under the guidance of Xun Chun, and both had quite the aesthetic.
Both the wooden boxes and their decorations had a charming appeal.
At the time, uncle Meng also helped bring them back, and he had a deep impression of these boxes and recognized them at a glance.
Which family would carelessly throw this gift box out as trash?
Uncle Meng’s heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the next second, the cleaning staff politely said, "This is from the third master’s yard."
Third master?
Bai Lian didn’t know who he was but thanked the person anyway, "Thank you."
She held the gift box in her hand and continued walking inside with uncle Meng, looking at him with the same casual and loose expression as before.
Seeing uncle Meng looking over, she gave him a polite smile.
It seemed she wasn’t bothered by the gift box from the trash bin.
Despite her gentle expression, uncle Meng felt somewhat uneasy for reasons unknown.

By the time Bai Lian arrived, Ji Heng had almost finished packing his things.
Ji Family’s second master stood in the middle of the hall, ready to return to Xiangcheng with Ji Heng.
He held a hand-rolled cigarette and looked towards the left at the embroidery frame. "If you’re not bringing her back, you should at least let me pay my respects to her, it’s been forty years."
Ji Family’s second master actually knew that when Wanxin was at home, she often contacted the municipal people.
Later, after getting into Jiangjing University and getting together with Mu Heng, the two of them vanished from public view, with no news and no way to trace them.
Back then, Ji Family’s second master guessed that Wanxin and Mu Heng might already be people of the state.
He couldn’t really blame Mu Heng; even without him, Wanxin would have made the same choice.
What he couldn’t let go of was that Ji Heng hadn’t contacted them for so long and hadn’t brought Wanxin back either.
Ji Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Now it’s possible."
Great aunt stood aside, quietly sighing.
The Ji Family was now in a state of heated rivalry. Compared to the hastily ambitious third branch, great aunt preferred the composed second branch. Recently, though, the third branch had delivered frequent successes, especially with securing a cooperation in Jiangjing.
This cooperation was still a mystery to great aunt.
For Ji Family’s second master, leaving at this juncture was more disadvantageous than beneficial.
