Chapter 148 She Was Unqualified

g about it."Gu Jingxi, upon hearing this, understood why his colleagues had been looking at him strangely today. He said in a soft voice, "A sachet is just an accessory. What's the problem with wearin...At noon, Jingning County Princess stayed at the Hou Mansion and had lunch with Meng Jinyang.

After lunch, Meng Jinyao instructed the maidservant to make lychee horseshoe ice sugar water. When it was ready, she sent some to both the first and second rooms.

Lychees are hot in nature, but horseshoe beans are cooling. They taste sweet and refreshing when made into sugar water, and they're even better chilled. Taking a sip is cool, fragrant, and sweet, and it can also quench your thirst. It's perfect to drink on a hot day.

The Lady Jingning was taken aback, then said: "Lord Gu treats you quite well."

"The Marquis has treated me very well. Since I married into the Marquis's Mansion, he has never treated me poorly," Meng Jinyu said, her lips slightly curving upwards in a gentle and serene smile.cough, easing the awkwardness: "A few years ago, I was too outspoken and said a couple of things to her.
