Nanny Feng came in and announced, "Fifth Missy is here."
Ji Bo Lian picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and asked, "Why is she here?" His tone was still stern, as if he were somewhat displeased by Ji Qingwu's arrival.
Nanny Feng glanced at the Old Madam and said, "First Master, I don't know what wind blew Fifth Missy over. We hardly ever see her come to visit our Old Madam. She doesn't even come to pay her morning and evening respects."
Ji Bo Lian's expression soured. "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Cut the nonsense."
Recalling what he needed to discuss with the Old Madam, he added, "Tell her to go back for now."
Old Madam Ji put down her bowl and said to Mr. Ji, "Qingwu has never been willing to visit me. That she's come here at all must be thanks to you."
How could Ji Bo Lian not know they were indirectly complaining to him?
Seeing that the Old Madam was nearly finished eating, he waved for the servants to clear the table.
