However, Mrs. He also knew that the person representing the Princess Regnant of Tianchu wasn't those marchionesses or the marquesses but the Princess's personal attendant, Mama Song.
Therefore, Mrs. He couldn't mention it to Mama Song; it had to be Yun Jinnian who spoke up.
But Yun Jinnian...
Mrs. He felt a vague unease in her heart. She knew that Yun Jinnian was no longer the timid and meek girl she had been one or two years ago and regretted not having sent a gift when Yun Jinnian was sent to Yingci'an, nor showing any gesture later at Huguo Temple.
Mama Song calmly sipped her tea, with a serene expression on her face, not initiating conversation with Mrs. He, which made Mrs. He quite embarrassed.
It wasn't until Yun Jinnian approached that Mrs. He could speak, but Mama Song had already put down her teacup with a beaming smile to greet her, "Greetings, Fourth Miss!"
Yun Jinnian promptly curtsied in response, "Greetings to Mama Song!"
