First Madam Fan's smile was tinged with irony.
Compensation? Who would she seek compensation from without evidence? Unless Madam Shao intervened and pressured Mrs. Jia into admitting defeat.
But was that a feasible outcome?
Madam Shao had stormed out in a fit of anger, signaling the end of the banquet.
The two madams of the Fan Family offered profuse apologies. Second Mrs. Fan escorted them out, while First Madam Fan hastened to find Fan Ruyin.
Meanwhile, Old Lady Fan was enjoying her lunch. Fan Ruyin, always mindful of her mother's needs, wouldn't dare disturb her during this time.
Hence, First Madam Fan easily intercepted her in her chamber.
The atmosphere in the room was tense and subdued. The maidservants held their breaths, cowering in fear, their heads bowed in anticipation of reprimand.
Fan Ruyin shot a glare at First Madam Fan. "Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Have you dealt with that troublemaker?"
First Madam Fan's lips curved into a sneer.
