Chapter 1411 - 230, Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme (27)
Aunt Qi’s mouth twitched slightly; the logic of Second Young Master Xia was indeed not something ordinary people could understand.
"Ladies, the title of Magistrate Pingxi might not be very high in the palace, but it’s sufficient for the daughters of officials, not to mention girls from ordinary families. Even Miss Su from Prime Minister Su Mansion has to pay her respects. Of course, when they meet men of lesser rank than themselves, those men have to show their respects too."
With this explanation, Lin Yuan understood much more.
Yet Xiao Linshuang, Lin Wei, and the others were clearly more concerned with the fact that Su Qiuyu would have to pay respects to Lin Yuan. Remembering how Su Qiuyu had previously looked down on Lin Yuan as if she were a despised little village girl, and now she had to pay respects to that very village girl, just thinking about it felt satisfying.
Aunt Qi looked at the few lovely young girls with amusement, and after staying for a while, she left to return to the palace.
Lin Yuan and the others personally saw her off to her carriage and didn’t head back to the mansion until the carriage was out of sight, their spirits lifted.
