Mrs. Cen Zhang gave a dry laugh. "Boys will be mischievous. We left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring a meeting gift. I'll be sure to make up for it once we arrive."
Jin Qianqian hadn't expected visitors midway through their journey. Unfortunately, she had nothing of value on her person; her jewelry was all packed away at the bottom of her chests, and she couldn't very well pull something out of her storage space right now. She could only offer an awkward smile. "Lady Cen, once we arrive in Yi Province, we'll host a banquet at our residence. Please be sure to bring Miss Cen along then."
The unspoken meaning was clear to everyone: since neither party could produce a gift at the moment, they would have to wait for a later time.
Mrs. Cen Zhang stayed for a short while, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then led Cen Yueqin back to their own party.
Once they were out of sight, Jin Qianqian called Xu Dawang over and told him to find out more about Zhang Guihong and her daughter.
