Chapter 407 - 406 Not Worthy of Respect
Qi Sanshun had been the king of the village children since he was young, and even the kids older than him would take orders from him. He naturally possessed a daring and resourcefulness that was a cut above the average village child.
And Qi Jiaer had been under the care of Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan for over a year, and aside from the necessary rules and etiquette, Ye Xinyan had always let Qi Jiaer run wild. Moreover, with many people coming and going from the Qi family, and with the likes of Jinrong and Guan He around, in Qi Jiaer’s naive consciousness, he didn’t see anything different about the people in Duke An’s Mansion.
Therefore, although they occasionally glanced over at Ye Xinyan, they were not intimidated by the unfamiliar people and things in this strange place.
Duke An’s gaze swept over Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer, and he sighed inwardly, lamenting that his own children and grandchildren, raised in a grand noble house, were actually not as composed and forthright as two country kids.
As he reflected on this with a sigh, Duke An turned his gaze towards Nanny Jin, his eyes gradually sharpening.
Nanny Jin had knelt down early when Ye Xinyan led Qi Sanshun to kowtow to Duke An and his wife. Seeing that the two kids from the Qi family had already stood up and taken their seats, while the young miss was still kneeling on the ground, she felt uneasy and kept shooting glances at the people sitting at the higher seats.
When she saw Duke An direct his icy gaze towards her, she involuntarily shivered and quickly touched her forehead to the ground, continuously knocking her head against it: "This servant knows her offense, this servant is willing to accept the punishment."
Ye Xinyan, hearing the sound of a forehead touching the ground behind her, felt her heart almost cramping.
