What a Great Drama (1)

Liang Doukou did not come with her family; instead, she arrived late with Zhou Jing.

Having greeted guests at the door for more than an hour, Old Master Gu felt tired and walked back to a guest room with Nanny Zhang to take a rest. Liang Doukou and Zhou Jing had not gotten to Old Master Gu in the receiving line by the time he took his break. 

As Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi'ai stood at the door, they noticed Liang Doukou and Zhou Jing getting closer and, looking at one another, silently agreed they did not want to greet them. With so many guests walking through the line, they didn't want to be obvious and cause a stir, so as the two women approached them, Gu Yusheng pretended to not see them, subtly broke away from his greeting duties, and turned to whisper to Qin Zhi'ai, "Are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and have a rest?"

Qin Zhi'ai had also pretended to not have seen them and said, "I'm fine."
