Chapter 450: Chapter 309: The Princely Heir’s Wife Arrives
“Pah! As if being an official’s relative is so impressive! Lady Changsheng is such a capable woman, yet she never flaunted her power like this, not even a word of thanks. What lack of manners!” the waiter grumbled resentfully.
The pedestrians around saw the luxurious carriage heading towards Tongji Street and dispersed, while some idle bystanders, with nothing better to do, followed the carriage from a distance, ready to watch the excitement unfold.
Though these days Miss Huo of the Mandated Noble Lady overshadowed Medicine God Lady Changsheng, Lady Changsheng was, after all, still Lady Changsheng. Matters concerning her, more or less, always became the talk of the streets and alleys.
Yhan Qinrui, dressed in an eight-colored floral robe, her hair piled high, sat in the carriage, hearing the panting of the housekeeper outside. She smirked and spoke, “Uncle Yhan, why bother with common folk like that, losing your dignity for nothing!”
Outside the carriage, Housekeeper Yan, walking alongside the carriage, bowed slightly, “Miss is right!”
On hearing this, Yhan Qinrui shook her head, “Uncle Yhan, I have already come of age, you should change the way you address me. You can’t call me ‘miss’ anymore!”
At the mention of coming of age, a blush of shy redness appeared on Yhan Qinrui’s face, which quickly faded, but a sharp glint still flashed through her eyes.
“I have been calling you ‘miss’ for so many years, suddenly having to call you ‘young madam’ feels somewhat difficult to adjust to…” Housekeeper Yan shook his head.
Now, after major young ladies come of age, their maternal families must change how they address them. The servants who follow them to their marital homes change their manner of addressing them, while those from their maternal families must refer to them as ‘young madam’, regardless of seniority. This is the rule in major households.
“Since Uncle Yhan finds it awkward, then just follow Chun Hua and Qiu Yue in calling me the heir’s wife!” Yhan Qinrui was quite close to Housekeeper Yan, who raised her since she was a child, and his wife was her nanny, who was currently sitting in the carriage behind.
“Then let’s do as the heir’s wife says!” Housekeeper Yan nodded in response, turned around only to notice the people trailing not far behind the procession, and approached the carriage to speak worriedly in a low voice, “Heir’s wife, it seems Gu Changsheng has quite a reputation in Liuzhou City. With this being the case, it might be difficult to take action against her…”
