Xu Jing was slightly taken aback, but she calmly observed the people in front of her and smiled faintly, saying, "You don't have to be so formal. You usually serve the young lord, so just take good care of him these days, there's no need to worry too much about me."
Upon hearing this, Shen seemed a bit startled, but quickly masked her expression and said cheerfully, "Miss Xu, these words put us in a difficult position. After all, Miss Xu is the young lord's own mother. Moreover, when the lord sent us over, he did say to serve both the young lord and Miss Xu well; how could we possibly neglect Miss Xu?"
On the way here, Xianyun had already spoken to them about the situation concerning the former lady. It was now evident that this former lady indeed resented any further connection with the lord.
She had come to the young lord's side only after he had gone to stay with the lord.
