I don’t know what she is not used to. Maybe she is not used to Helan Ruizhe’s sudden gentleness and closeness.
But it's already good, at least she doesn't reject his approach.
"Then what should I do when I meet the Queen Mother later?" Jin Suting was still worried.
Helan Ruizhe reassured her, saying, "Don't think about anything for a while, and don't talk. Just stand there quietly."
"Just standing there?"
"Yes, let me handle everything."
"Then I don't have to hide or something?"
"We have not violated any laws or regulations of Fuding State. We don't need to hide."

For a moment, Jin Suting wanted to break free from Helan Ruizhe's hand, but it was held tightly and she couldn't break free.
"Grandma, I think my meaning is clear enough."
Helan Ruizhe's eyes were open.
The Queen Mother was very disappointed: "Didn't I tell you to stay away from her? Is this why you just listen to me?"
"I didn't agree to that."
