"Oh, Xiaowu's here too." Min rarely visited Jian Ruonan's private residence. It was small but tastefully furnished, and the maids and servants they passed on the way in were all well behaved.
She had known it: lazy as Nan Nan might be, her ability to manage servants was not lacking in the least.
"Mother, you're here!" Jian Ruonan went up to greet her, sounding rather relieved. "Let's hurry and go!"
Min took her hand and looked her over. "Why are you so eager today?"
Nan Nan was almost eighteen and still not engaged. In other people's eyes, she was practically an old maid. Whenever she visited someone, a few blind fools would inevitably come up and make comments, only to bring humiliation upon themselves. Although Nan Nan always left them speechless, it grew tiresome over time, and she gradually lost her enthusiasm for visiting relatives.
Had Min not come personally to corner her, Nan Nan would certainly have prepared generous gifts and then vanished.
Min was utterly baffled by her sudden eagerness.
Jian Ruonan said, "Mother, what are you saying? It's Maternal Grandfather's birthday. How could I not be eager?"
"Madam." Dantai Mo came out of the Flower Hall and looked at Min.
"Your Highness?" Min hurried to bow to him, but Dantai Mo stopped her halfway through. "There's no need for formalities, madam."
Min's gaze moved between Nan Nan and Dantai Mo.
The atmosphere between them was a little strange.
Something must have happened.
Everyone at the Jinyang Marquis's Residence knew how the Crown Prince felt. He was enduring immense pressure for Nan Nan's sake.
But her daughter could not endure the hardships of marriage, much less those of childbirth.
The poor Crown Prince.
Looking at her daughter's somewhat odd demeanor, Min blinked. Could there be a turning point?!
