So when Shanmoi and the others heard the young lady call the Marquis "Lord," the people serving nearby were all taken aback.
Only Nanny Guo showed no reaction upon hearing it, after all, she had seen the world and come out of the palace.
Shanmoi couldn't help but worry and privately asked Hailan, "Did the young lady have a quarrel with the Marquis? Otherwise, why would she even change the way she addresses him?"
"The young lady and the Marquis are husband and wife. When in the Capital, everyone knew the young lady grew up in the Marquis Mansion, so it was understandable for her to call him brother. But it's different here. Here, people only know her as Madam, not that she grew up in the Marquis Mansion." Hailan's words made Shanmoi understand everything.
"It's odd, hearing the young lady call the Marquis 'Lord' feels awkward no matter how you hear it."
