"It's quite different from what I imagined; other families are much better than yours!"
"Even Wei Yu's house is better than yours!"
Yue Er said bluntly.
Shih Shaoling nodded awkwardly.
"Both my father and mother are frugal people who dislike extravagance, especially my father!"
"He only has a few servant boys by his side, not even a maid."
"My mother only has a few young maids to serve her!"
Unlike other high-ranking officials in the capital, who can't leave the house without ten or so advisors and guests surrounded by a crowd.
Madam Shi isn't like other ladies who have a convoy of carriages and maids when they go out.
The Shi Family has always preferred to keep a low profile; they feel that other families only put on a show for appearances, while a simple lifestyle is more reassuring.
Yue Er nodded.
"I think it's quite nice!"
"I don't like having people with me when I leave the palace either!"
