Wan Qiqi was a countrywoman from the mountains, but her husband worked in the county government as a clerk and was in charge of the patrol team in Yunhe County. He was practically an official, so Wan Qiqi could be considered half an official's wife.
Shuang'er, though a maid in a wealthy household, was, after all, a slave, not a mistress.
Shuang'er was speechless at Wan Qiqi's words and couldn't find a suitable reason to refute them for a long time.
The gazes from those around her served as a warning: she must not act recklessly, or she would disgrace her young mistress and the Xiao family.
She was breathing heavily, glared at Wan Qiqi, and strode out.
Halfway there, she suddenly stopped.
Turning around, he held up the sign and said to Zhu Youcai, "Hurry up, or my young lady will get impatient and regret it!"

"Sister Wanting, you go upstairs to keep Madam Meng company. The refreshments will be delivered soon. I'll go and get busy!" Wan Qiqi said as she walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
Zhou Wanting looked up and saw that there were no guests to greet at the door. This person probably wanted to see Miss Xiao.
Wan Qiqi just wanted to see Xiao Nian and find out about his situation.
Xiao Nian rarely left her home, only going out two or three times a month. She couldn't get detailed information from the outside world, only hearing rumors.
She chased after it, only to see the carriage drive into the crowd and disappear into the sea of people.
