Han Yufang, after hearing Ye Xinyan's words, was not the least bit intimidated. She lifted her chin proudly and said with a cold laugh, "Miss Ye, you exaggerate. I am merely here to inquire about what happened; I haven't said anything at all."

Her status now is not the same as on the eighth day of the first month of the lunar year. Even just now in the main hall, several of the elder Madams treated her with respect. What's Ye Xinyan's status in comparison? At most, she is just a subordinate of the prince's mansion.
Shi Lan, however, did not possess Han Yufang's composure. She kept glancing towards the door, anxious about why her mother had yet to arrive.
In her eager anticipation, the door to the side hall finally opened, and Madam Liu, accompanying Madam Jiang and Madam Yin, entered.
