Qian Wang said respectfully, "Mother, I'm back. I'll go to my room."
Old Madam Qian nodded and tacitly agreed to what Qian Wang wanted to do. Qian'e tried to secretly sneak in by following behind Qian Wang.
"Stop right there," Old Madam Qian said.
Qian'e slowly turned around and looked at Old Madam Qian with a feeling of unease. She knew that she would definitely get beaten up today, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
"Tell me, what did you two do today?" Old Madam Qian said.
"We went out to convey our apologies. We didn't do anything else," Qian'e said casually as she tilted her head.
"You went out to convey your apologies? Then why didn't you manage to give these things away? Did the Xia family reject them?" Old Madam Qian said.
"They said that they appreciated our gesture but they won't accept it," Qian'e said.
