After finishing lunch, they bade farewell to the group from the Prime Minister's Estate. Madame Qin and Madame Zhao held Wen Jiu’s hands as they spoke, "We shall come again in a few days when your grandmother celebrates her birthday. After the celebrations, you must come to keep your maternal grandmother company. I have already spoken with the Old Madam of your house. Go along now, dear child; the sun is getting fierce."
"Old Madam, let us wait until our Grand Matriarch has recovered a bit more in a few days, then we shall all come together." In truth, they addressed her maternal grandmother as 'Old Madam' within the estate, using 'Grand Matriarch' only to awe the others present. Wen Jiu was deeply moved by her maternal family’s favoritism toward her.
"Yes, yes, that is wonderful. It would be best if your family could come."
