Song Qingyun naturally wanted to refuse, but Xu Jing stood up to go outside, using the excuse that Madam Song and Zhao Shaohua had taken such good care of her previously, and that she should return the favor.
In truth, if Xu Jing wanted to buy some snacks, she could have simply sent Chunyang to do it.
But everyone present was clever, and naturally saw that Xu Jing wanted an excuse to go outside for a while. Song Qingyun thought Xu Jing had something to attend to, so she didn't continue to refuse.
Once Xu Jing went out, she walked directly to a corner at some distance from the main hall, turned her head toward Nanny Kang who quietly followed her, and said warmly, "Did Nanny Kang call me out because you have something to say?"
Nanny Kang was an old hand beside Madam Song, and Xu Jing was a bit surprised to see her following Song Erniang this time.
