Daohua had just returned to the estate when she heard that Madam Han had arrived.
Upon realizing the guest was her sister-in-law's mother, Daohua made a point to freshen up in her room before visiting the old lady's courtyard.
Entering the grandmother's room, Daohua discovered not only Madam Han, but also another madam was present.
Madam Li, seeing Daohua, immediately smiled and said, "Come and greet your Aunt Han and Aunt Feng."
Daohua approached with a smile and performed the greetings.
Madam Han smiled and said, "So this is Yiyi, truly as beautiful as a flower and as graceful as the moon."
Daohua's eyebrows subtly furrowed for a moment—though the words were complimentary, the rumors circulating in Beijing about her and Xiao Yeyang painted her as a seductress, so such praise at this moment felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Next, Madam Feng made Daohua feel even more uneasy.
