"Old Master, the child is still young, and children often speak without thinking. Why bother taking it to heart!"
Having said that, she glanced at Xia Tingfeng. "Ah... it's all in the past. Let's not talk about those unhappy things! We've come all this way. Let's hurry inside, tidy up a bit, and take a rest!"
After speaking, she led the Servants inside. She was utterly taking on the airs of the Family Matriarch.
Xia Tingfeng found her behavior extremely grating, but there was nothing he could do.
