At the Flower Appreciation Banquet, Mu Qifu shone brightly, outshining all others in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As anticipated by the City Lord's Madam, the talented young girl attracted everyone's attention, and her name became well-known after that night.
The Duchess of Zhen was increasingly fond of the talented girl and intended to invite her to stay at her house to foster a connection with her sons.
However, Mu Qifu's heart was not at the Lin residence, but in the medicine shop, so she politely declined the old lady's kindness.
Unaware of the truth, the old lady was quite puzzled.
Considering that City Lord Mu had repeatedly visited the Lin residence, both openly and secretly expressing his intention to marry into the Lin Clan, she couldn't understand why.
Xie Xueying, Ji Tangxu, and two other noble ladies were fortunate to be invited by the Lin Clan to stay at the Lin Residence for a while.
