Hearing that someone from the northern courtyard's Qiao family had come to find her, Qiao Nan did not even need to ask who it was. "Tell them that I'm busy." In other words, she was not going to meet them.
The people in the southern courtyard knew that Qiao Nan was the Zhai family's daughter-in-law and was no different from the matriarch of the Zhai family. Not only did Qiao Nan have the right to enter the southern courtyard freely, but the guards also had to listen to her. As such, the guards naturally denied Ding Jiayi entry into the southern courtyard. "I'm sorry, but you aren't allowed inside. Miss Qiao isn't free now. Perhaps, you can try to contact her and meet her somewhere else."
