Lady Fang was not mad at being blamed. Rather, she lowered her head in acknowledgement, respectful as a junior to a senior.
It looked like this was because of instinct formed over a long period of time.
Instinct to regard this person in front of her as a true senior.
"Be strict on those close to you, because you know the benefits of strictness. Without rules, nothing can be done. No one wants their children to live without rules, otherwise the ones to bear hardship in the future will be them," added Head Shopkeeper Song, his expression grave. "Be lax on those distant from you. Because they have nothing to do with you, you have no need of wasting thought on them. Now, Miss Jun is not an outsider. She is one of you. How could you ignore her because of your personal feelings, not to mention the negligent pampering."
"What Uncle says is right," responded Lady Fang sincerely, thankful.
