A very casual greeting, yet it made Song Daliang's expression change slightly as he widened his eyes and cautiously stepped back two steps.
Jiyun's smile grew even broader.
She nodded slightly at Song Daliang and said warmly, "Old Master Song, please take your time leaving. No need for me to see you out!"
Since their kinship had been severed, he was no longer her great-uncle, and so her manner of addressing him naturally had to change.
She picked up her dress and walked into the gate at an unhurried pace.
It wasn't until she passed beyond the shadow of the wall that the gaze that seemed to freeze on her finally disappeared.
With both Eleventh Grand Master Song and the others absent, the dinner arranged for the clan elders was less lively.
Madam Qian whispered to Jiyun, "Shall we ask Young Master Yuan to help host the guests?"
Jiyun thought of his cold countenance. Though she touched her forehead, she still sent Xiang Zhan to Yinyu Hall.
