On the following day, Chen Xi went to Liu Bei's residence early in the morning, so early that Liu Bei was somewhat surprised to see Chen Xi up at such an hour. However, coming too early has its downsides, like accidentally encountering Madame Zhang...
Looking at Madame Zhang, whose face was slightly shy, Chen Xi remained expressionless. After all, this was a matter of time; now even Liu Bei hardly had any maids, wasn't this giving Madame Zhang an opportunity?
Thus, Chen Xi, seldom, first bowed to Madame Zhang. Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Madame Zhang didn't shy away from Chen Xi and returned the bow, though inwardly she felt much more at ease now. Chen Xi's bow basically acknowledged her status; otherwise, with Chen Xi's status, he wouldn't need to bow first.
"Marquis Chen, I wonder if you have seen my little daughter recently." Madame Zhang inquired with a touch of helplessness after bowing.
