Daohua accepted Madam An's greeting with ease and composure, appearing completely indifferent, as if she found nothing inappropriate about Madam An bowing to her.
The An Family was not of noble lineage, and Madam An was only riding on the coattails of Imperial Concubine An, having acquired the title of a first-rank appointed Madam. It was only proper etiquette for her to pay respects in front of a Princess Consort of the highest rank.
However, Daohua's acceptance of the gesture was perceived by Madam An as an outrageous insult.
As the mother of an Imperial Concubine, even the Crown Prince would have to bow when meeting her, yet this low-born Yan Family girl dared to accept her greeting.
An Xin, who was supporting Madam An, noticed her grandmother's change in complexion and hurriedly tugged at her sleeve in secret, which brought Madam An back to her senses and prevented an outburst right there and then.
