Just then.
Mrs. Qi Sr. arrived in a panic, leaning on her maid's arm.
As soon as she saw Mo Lingwei, she hastily knelt on the ground with her servants to greet him.
"I was not aware of the Crown Prince's arrival. This humble residence has failed to welcome you properly."
Mo Lingwei's tone was icy. "Are you blind? Can you not see the Princess is here as well?"
Mrs. Qi Sr.'s heart trembled. She quickly kowtowed to Shen Ningning in greeting as well.
'No matter how much she disliked the Xie family, she had no choice but to bow her head and curry favor now.'
Shen Ningning watched Mo Lingwei silently.
'It seems my brother is in a truly awful mood.'
The young girl waved her hand, telling Mrs. Qi Sr. to rise.
"Lord Pei has an eagle named Mengyi. It often comes to the mansion to play with Xiao Wei. It flew over just a moment ago. I wonder if Mrs. Qi Sr. has seen it?"
Mrs. Qi Sr. quickly shook her head. "I have not."
