Its only Maomao that notices that all of the belts on Gyokuyous new dresses are very high.
Maomao cant afford the glassware Xiaolan is ogling, but she does buy her some cute new hair ties.
Yes, Maomao, this is what having a little sister is like.Enjoy it.

Maomao also learns shes very good at drawing insects.
Suspicions also mount in Maomaos head throughout the episode.
After collecting scents from the Crystal Pavilion, shes called out by Lihuas chief lady-in-waiting Shin.

That is, except for the fact this isThe Apothecary Diaries, so its most likely a plot.
We may be served red herrings here or there (could Hongniang really be working against Gyokuyou?)
