Liu Ya was just about to let the two of them sit and rest, but who knew Mrs. Li's mouth seemingly knew no bounds. Clinging to Liu Ya and sighing, she began to complain incessantly about the family affairs. Liu Ya listened until she became thoroughly fed up, yet it was not proper for her to leave, so she could only respond perfunctorily. However, Mrs. Li became even more animated as she spoke, causing Liu Ya immense suffering.
"Miss Sang Wan is back!"
Finally, a crisp long call from the maid at the door was heard, followed by a flurry of rapid footsteps and the rustling of dresses.
"Miss Wan is back! Miss Wan!" Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, and she rose to dash out.
"Second Madame!" Liu Ya quickly grabbed her, coming up with a quick-witted response: "You are an elder, you should wait for Miss Sang Wan to come and pay her respects. Going out like this, others will laugh at you for not understanding the rules!"
