If it weren't for knowing that these two princesses were not on good terms in their past lives, she would have thought they were very close sisters.
Qin Yuan lowered her head and said nothing.
Gu Jinghui said coldly, "According to protocol, when a princess visits, the whole family of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion should receive her to comply with the courtly etiquette. However, given the urgency, we can only do so much. Marquis himself, with the wife by his side to pay respects, is only because of the male-female distinction, to maintain the princesses' reputations. If there is any impropriety from the wife, please forgive us, Princess."
Princess Fuyun noticed his displeased expression and hurriedly said, "Third Brother, earlier I said that only because I was concerned the wife might not be accustomed to receiving visits and might get flustered."
Qin Yuan laughed coldly in her heart, thinking that this was implying her own lowly status.
