After Miao Family left, the room suddenly fell silent.
Ninth Madam Miao was a bit uncomfortable. Although she was usually glib and eloquent, at this moment, she couldn't think of anything amusing to say.
Especially as Old Mrs. Xia sat there holding her teacup, appearing calm and composed, and Du Yunluo, who was lost in thought, showed the same steadiness on her face as well.
It made Ninth Madam Miao feel even more uneasy.
No wonder the Miao Family would slam the table and say she was not welcomed on either side.
With nothing resolved, Ninth Madam Miao couldn't even find a reason to leave and could only sit and endure it.
She sat there for a full quarter-hour.
The bamboo curtain lifted, and Lanzhi entered with a bright smile, breaking the balance in the room.
Ninth Madam Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lanzhi greeted everyone and said, "The eldest young lady is here."
