"My humble self pays respect to the Dowager Madam Ji and Princess Chang. I apologize for any discourtesy. My absence was due to some errands outside; I did not mean to neglect our distinguished guests."
The Dowager Madam Ji listened to the insincere words from the woman of the Lin Family, her expression unchanging. She was about to utter some polite words and then seize the opportunity to address the issue of the Gu Insect, intending to solve it before returning, when the beloved granddaughter in her arms spoke.
"Nanny Zhang, last night you told me that anyone who meets me must kneel and kowtow to me. Why didn't the pretty lady's auntie kneel and kowtow to me?"
Silence. You could hear a pin drop. No one dared to breathe.
Nanny Zhang stood beside Dowager Madam Ji, coughed once, and looked at Xiaosuisui with surprise.
This child, whom I taught about etiquette and rules only last night, I thought she would forget them. I little expected her to apply them so adeptly!
