Lu Jiao immediately turned around and said to Lady Xu and Jinxiu, "I have some things to attend to. Both of you should still stay for lunch. In the afternoon, we can go together to the fields."
Lady Xu saw that Lu Jiao had something to do, which made it difficult for her to insist on leaving. She agreed immediately.
"Okay, then Jinxiu and I will go to the kitchen to help Aunt Hua prepare lunch."
"Sure, thank you."
Lady Xu shook her head, "It's fine."
Lady Xu and Jinxiu stood up and headed towards the kitchen to assist Aunt Hua with the meal preparation.
Meanwhile, Lu Jiao walked with Ruan Zhu to the front courtyard.
As she approached Xie Yunjin's room, she overheard the concerned voice of Xie Yunjin's second brother, Xie Erzhu.
