After asking that question, the Grand Princess felt it was rather inexplicable herself. Before Shen Yiru could even open her mouth to reply, Madam Wang couldn't help but straighten her back and say sternly, "Yiru was born to me after ten months of pregnancy. How could we not be mother and daughter?"
The Grand Princess also realized her question had been abrupt. She gave a light cough. "Ahem... I was just asking offhand. I meant no harm."
Having said this, she looked slightly upward at Shen Yiru. Her expression no longer held the hostility it had at the beginning. Shen Yiru turned to look at her mother, noticing the anger on her face, then looked back at the Grand Princess, observing that her expression seemed fairly easygoing now.
