Chapter 146

Before Gu Jiuci could speak, Mistress Huo had already smelled the aroma of the tea and voluntarily picked up the teacup to take a sip. Then she looked in satisfaction toward her.

"You made it well."

She had actually secretly been keeping an eye on Gu Jiuci this whole time. From when Gu Jiuci came in until now, she hadn't done anything unusual. Furthermore, she had not reacted in any way to either favor or insult and had remained calm. Her skill with the traditional tea making could not be achieved without a decade of teaching and influence.

Mistress Huo was even doubting the evidence of her own eyes. "Am I looking at a fake Gu Jiuci?

"Or were all of Aunt Ming's earlier observations correct? Had Gu Jiuci truly changed her bad habits and become good?"

"Ever since Mother left, I haven't practiced in three years."

Gu Jiuci spoke lightly. Just then, she had just had an itch to make tea. She didn't like tea so she had just casually passed it to Mistress Huo.

"Very good."

Mistress Huo
