Mrs. Pei sat in her main room, waiting for Pei Shenyan and his wife to come and greet her, but no matter how long she waited, they did not arrive.
It was almost lunchtime when the housekeeper who delivered the ginseng hurriedly walked in. After a quick greeting, she said, "Madam, I... I wish to take back the two ginseng roots that were just delivered."
Mrs. Pei raised an eyebrow, "Take them back?"
A few of the Mrs. Pei looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
"What do you mean?" Pei Jingxiu raised an eyebrow and questioned.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "I misunderstood. They were meant for Aunt Xiang, not for you, madam."
As soon as these words fell, several young mistresses widened their eyes in surprise.
The Eldest Young Madam Pei glanced at Mrs. Pei, whose expression had changed, and questioned the housekeeper, "Are you sure it was for Aunt Xiang and not for the madam?"
