Chapter 557 - 555 Kneel Down
Lady Zhao had already seen Nanny Liu and others coming out to greet them, and she was wondering if the respectable and dignified middle-aged woman in the lead could be some lady of the household.
When she heard Nanny Liu addressing Cheung Wusi with such respect, her mind took a turn, and she couldn’t help but be startled. Such a reputable woman, was she just a servant woman?
Then, since she was only a servant woman, did she need to be so polite to her? Wouldn’t that just make others look down upon her?
While thinking this, Lady Zhao subconsciously met Nanny Liu’s gaze, and the half-forced composure she had managed instantly deflated, her apologetic smile tinged with embarrassment, "Elder sister, you are too kind, you’re too kind." Then, she looked around and, not seeing her son, couldn’t help but frown slightly, though she said nothing.
Ye Xinyan took a step back to let Cheung Wusi and his son accompany Lady Zhao to the guest reception area, following behind them. Truthfully, she was somewhat worried for Zhou Biyao. Lady Zhao was probably a strong and independent mother, but not necessarily a good mother-in-law. Moreover, Lady Zhao had brought along a cousin from Wong Qiao.
Xiuqin clung tightly to Lady Zhao’s arm, her hold was more of a tight embrace than a support. Before turning around, she glanced nervously at Ye Xinyan once more, then stayed close to Lady Zhao as they walked towards the guest reception area.
Cheung Wusi noticed the tension in the two from the Zhao family and, while walking, casually inquired about their journey and if everything was settled at home.
It only took a few words before they arrived at the entrance to the guest reception area. Jiu Yu stepped forward first to lift the curtain, allowing them to enter.
