Second Miss was innocent and lively, acting on a whim. She took her mother's jade-like hand and placed it in Lin San's palm, startling the Madam.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little imp?" Madam Xiao shook her head with a light laugh, her face flushing. She subtly pulled back her hand. "When Yuruo returns, we'll make up for the formalities. Why would we need a substitute? Don't you agree, Lin San?"
"Ah, yes, yes," Lin Wanrong hurriedly nodded, saying earnestly, "Holding the wrong hand is a serious matter, one I have no intention of making at the moment. Besides, with Madam Xiao's exceptional beauty, standing alongside Eldest Miss and Second Miss, you are like a trio of blooming flowers in this garden. How could anyone simply substitute for another?"
In one sentence, he complimented all three of them. Second Miss's eyes sparkled like a painting as she held her mother's hand and giggled, "Naturally. My mother has been famous for her beauty since childhood. Countless young men have been smitten by her. Even now, her charm and unparalleled beauty have earned her admirers in both Jinling and the capital city. You do have good taste!"
"You naughty girl," Madam Xiao's face turned slightly red as she chuckled and patted her daughter's beautiful face, "I was hoping you'd discipline Lin San a bit. Who knew you’d pick up on his slick talking before even getting married? What are we to do with you in the future?"
Second Miss laughed delightfully, holding her mother with one hand and Lin San with the other. The joy and shyness in her eyes seemed to blush half the horizon.
"What about my poor Yuruo? Where could she be?" Madam Xiao looked at her second daughter's beautiful face and felt a pang of sorrow, tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Mother. Yuruo will return within a few days," Second Miss whispered in her mother's ear. Madam Xiao wiped her tears and nodded slightly, "If the princess intercedes, that would naturally be for the best. But she is the First Princess of Great Hua; you two will have to keep that in mind. Lin San, my two daughters have been so kind to you. You must treat them impartially."
