A deep silence rang in the air. Old Madam neither rejected nor accepted her claim. She just blankly stared at her with empty eyes.
But for Lihua, that was enough of an answer. She slowly bent and kneeled in front of her and gently picked her hand.
The Old Madam said, "You don't have to kneel in front of someone who has caused you trouble ever since you stepped in."
"It is nowhere near to the troubles you must have faced in your life. Also, you said that I won the challenge. But I still haven't. Until I get your blessings too, my victory will be incomplete."
The Old Madam was genuinely taken aback. "Me? Really?"
"Aren't you the Matriarch of the family? You are the Head. You are a part of this family as much as others are. Of course, you were always on my radar," Lihua seriously nodded.
Her mouth twitched.
There was a beat of silence.
"I haven't told this to anyone. Not even Weizhe and Weiyuan."
