Old Mu had told her on New Year's Eve that she would inevitably encounter the ladies of the Luo Family at various banquets in the Capital City. He said she shouldn't avoid them for his sake and certainly shouldn't respect them as relatives or elders. She should just treat them as strangers.
With Old Mu's words, Yang Chuxia knew that Brother An only acknowledged Old Mu as his uncle in the Luo Family, as well as Linhao and his sister, with no regard for anyone else there.
Therefore, Yang Chuxia didn't take Old Madam Luo's words to heart.
Seeing that Yang Chuxia ignored her, Old Madam Luo's face reddened slightly. Coming from a distinguished family herself, she could argue with the Emperor at court banquets for the sake of her children and grandchildren. However, she wouldn't argue with Yang Chuxia to maintain the family's dignity. Although upset, she didn't say any more.
But not State Duchess Tong!
