Gu Qingtong was fortunate to have gone through the imitation procedures; otherwise, she might have been embarrassed if she went unprepared the next day.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingtong was urged to get up. Looking outside, the sun hadn’t even risen yet.
She rubbed her eyes: “Lüguo, I’m sleepy.”
“Miss, we’re going to the Yang family today. We need to leave early.”
“Yang family?” Gu Qingtong remembered yesterday’s events and immediately woke up. She got up to wash and dress, then let a makeup maid apply her makeup.
Before dawn, Gu Qingtong’s carriage had arrived at the Yang family.
Entering the Yang residence, two older women immediately came to greet her. One looked sympathetic, while the other seemed happy, as if about to vent some frustration.
“Qing Niang has arrived.” The woman first led her to the Yang family’s matriarch. The matriarch’s face was stern as she issued a few warnings before ordering someone to show her to her accommodation for the next three days.
Gu Qingtong secretly speculated about the matriarch’s expression, which seemed unwilling to see her. She began to wonder if her invitation was actually at the request of the fiery Yang eldest young miss.
Gu Qingtong first rested in her room for a while, and then someone brought a set of clothing identical to the Yang second young miss’s.
Gu Qingtong quietly changed and was then led to a specially designated garden. Today’s location was in a peach blossom forest, surrounded by high walls. As soon as she arrived, she saw the two young ladies of the Yang family, with the eldest young lady shooting fire from her eyes.
“Oh, you’re here.”
“Qingtong pays respects to the eldest and second young ladies.”
“Hmph.”

Some people liked to wipe their mouth after each bite, while others wiped after finishing. Yang Mingyi clearly belonged to the former group, making her difficult to imitate due to her extreme attention to detail. Such a personality might be loved by a mother-in-law but could potentially irritate some more easygoing men.
