Guo Chun maintained a smile: "I actually don't want Mother to kneel either, but this is the rule of the palace, set by our ancestors. Look, isn't Sister implementing it well?"
"Observing the rites without overlooking relations, even if it's a stepmother, there's no exception. Since Sister has set an example for me, I naturally have to follow it!"
As Guo Chun spoke, she gestured with her hand: "Then I'll have to trouble Mother!"
Madam Guo's teeth were on the verge of being ground to pieces.
Once, she held such disdain for this stepdaughter that it was known throughout the mansion.
For a moment, she couldn't adjust to the change in roles.
How could Guo Yin endure having her mother kneel, and she immediately raised her voice: "Guo Chun, don't be too excessive!"
Guo Chun looked puzzled: "Why, as fellow concubines, is only Sister allowed such privilege to make the wife of a foreign minister kneel? What reasoning is that, I don't understand?"
