Chapter 292: Second Update
The Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family originally had no external relatives except for one sister of an uncle of the Eldest Madam Zong Sheng, who had since become the Second Madam of the Yannian Aristocratic Family.
Although aristocratic families often interacted frequently, there was a very strict hierarchy behind the scenes. Groups like the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family and Shiping Aristocratic Clan were leading the Four Great Families, interacting only among themselves. This order excluded the minor gentry who naturally couldn’t even engage in conversations with them.
However, Second Madam Geng of the Yannian Geng Family had a very advantageous path. That was, she and the Eldest Madam Zong Sheng had fewer sisters, and they had interacted since childhood, playing together at their maternal grandfather’s home, and had maintained affection for each other from childhood to adulthood.
Thus, this insignificant minor gentry family, the Yannian Aristocratic Family, could appear honorably at the entrance of the Zong Sheng Residence.
"It’s Second Madam Geng, please come in, please come in, our madam has been waiting for quite some time," greeted Nanny Liu at the door, all smiles, personally helping Second Madam Geng enter.
Second Madam Geng, grinning, where dared to trouble the house manager Nanny Liu, stubbornly removed a half-mountain half-river jade bracelet from her arm and put it on the hand of Nanny Liu.
Nanny Liu refused, but couldn’t resist the insistence of Second Madam Geng; the two of them chatted and laughed and had already reached the courtyard.
"Second Madam Geng, you don’t know, our madam is just hoping for someone to talk with, she has been waiting for you to come over," Nanny Sang also came out to greet.
Even though Eldest Madam Zong Sheng was born into a noble family, among the ladies from prominent families, the daughters of the Wu Family were considered a joke, and they could not speak objectively.
