Madam Yuan left the Ruan Family's home after lunch, but there was a hint of reluctance before her departure.
Ruan Jiaojiao went out to see her off, and only after watching her car drive away did she truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Jiaojiao, has Mother Liu always been calling you 'miss'?" Mrs. Ruanlin inquired as she came inside.
Mrs. Ruanlin, when she was a young lady, was the daughter of a landlord, surrounded by maidservants who would directly address their own mistress as 'miss', unlike the use of prefixes when referring to the daughter of another family.
She recalled that initially, Mother Liu did not address her directly as 'miss'; wasn't it something that suddenly changed later?
