Nalan Jinlian spoke casually, but Mrs. Xu felt alarmed listening to her.
She almost let it slip.
But thinking of herself and the possibility that she might be pregnant, she pursed her lips and said, "In the past, it was my fault as a mother; I was too busy quarreling with your father and neglected you. I will never do that again. You like reading books, so tomorrow we'll go to the bookstore and you can pick whatever you want!"
Nalan Jinlian nodded.
Her heart sank a little.
Judging from Mrs. Xu's behavior, she didn't seem like someone who would ignore her daughter just because of a quarrel, so there must be something fishy here.
But what that something was, Nalan Jinlian couldn't figure out for the moment.
"Alright!" Nalan Jinlian replied sweetly, and after a moment of thought, she said, "It would be great if I could visit the main study in the front courtyard!"
"It's not impossible to visit the main study!"
