Look at my eyesight, I’m getting old and can’t see clearly anymore, I didn’t even recognize you.”

“It’s fine, you came to listen to the opera and didn’t even call me.”

“On the weekend, you surely have other plans, why would you want to spend time with an old woman like me?”

After greeting the few young ladies who came with her with some polite small talk, they fell silent, obviously not very familiar with the elderly lady.

“This must be the sister from the Tang Family,” she said with a smile toward Tang Wan.

“Let me introduce you, Wanwan, this is Xiaowu’s cousin—Shuyan,” the elderly lady made the introduction.

“Hello, Tang Wan.”

Tang Wan immediately stood up to greet her.

“I had heard from Granny that sister is beautiful, and seeing you today, it is indeed true. The southern land truly nourishes beauty; not only are you lovely to look at, but even your voice is exceptionally pleasant. Knowing you were coming, I made a special effort to see you, but just missed you as you stepped out. It’s a bit regrettable.”

Tang Wan just smiled, probably knowing that this was the cousin Jiangjiang had mentioned before.

Her grandfather and Jiang Jinsang’s grandfather were brothers, and with two generations in between, her relation to Jiang Jinsang and the others certainly couldn’t be considered particularly close.

The elderly lady spoke up, “Are you also here to listen to the opera today?”

“Yes, it’s about to start soon, so I’ll go ahead with my friends. Granny, you and Tang sister take your time and enjoy, I won’t disturb you any further,” Jiang Shuyan spoke and acted quite appropriately, not staying long after the greeting and then leaving.

The elderly lady took a sip of tea with a faint smile on her lips, her thoughts unknown.

Tang Wan did not know much about the Jiang Family’s affairs and did not inquire further.

…

After the opera finished an hour later, the elderly lady specifically spoke to the manager, allowing Tang Wan to get a close look at the Cyan Feather headdress backstage.

But the manager was very busy and asked her to wait a moment before accompanying her.

“It’s fine, I can go by myself.”

“The backstage area is quite chaotic, I’m worried someone might bump into you,” the manager was also not foolish, knowing the elderly Jiang lady took special interest in her, he definitely had to be courteous.
