Bab 42: Chapter 36, Flexing Power_3

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Master Qin was invited into the living room, yet Madam Li was not present.

Ping Xiao offered tea with a smile, "Master, please wait a moment, Madam has some matters to take care of, and will come to see you as soon as she's done."

Master Qin nodded calmly.

But this wait turned out to be a full half-hour.

Now, she understood, Madam Li was giving her a cold shoulder.

Honestly, she had not anticipated such a result.

Madam Li of the Yan Family, being of merchant origin, did not hold much clout in the family. Furthermore, with Auntie Lin favored and herself recommended by Auntie Lin to teach the young ladies, every encounter with her, even if Madam Li was discontent, was amiable.

This time, her daughter had defied herself, and not only did she not come forward to apologize with her daughter, but she also showed disdain here!

A merchant indeed remains a merchant, with no concept of rules or etiquette.
