Ji Mingzhu's expression didn't change.
There was a light smile on her face, as if she didn't catch the dissatisfaction in Princess An He's words.
Mrs. Guan didn't want them, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to harbor any misunderstanding. She patted Ji Mingzhu's hand and said, "Once we return to the mansion, we can talk properly."
Xie Yunling had also matured a lot by now, speaking and acting less recklessly than before.
She softly reassured Ji Mingzhu, "Auntie has always been hoping for you and elder brother to come home. Even if she seems a bit fierce, it's probably just her being jealous. She won't make things difficult for you like before, so don't be afraid."
Ji Mingzhu chuckled helplessly and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The commandery princess doesn't bite, and I'm not a coward either."
Xie Yunling thought to herself, Sister Mingzhu is indeed not a coward.
Otherwise, how would she have dared to provoke elder brother back then?
