"Mrs. Zhong."
After recognizing who the person was, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and got up to politely exchange pleasantries with Zhong's mother.
Seeing Zhong's mother's smiling eyes fall on Pei Ziheng's face, Shen Mingzhu beckoned Pei Ziheng to get up and greet the woman.
But once her son stood up, Shen Mingzhu found herself in a dilemma.
What should he call her?
"Madam."
Hearing Pei Ziheng's form of address, the smile on Zhong's mother's face deepened.
"Such a clever child."
By seniority, Pei Ziheng should have called Zhong's mother "Grandma," but clearly, their relationship was not at that level yet.
If he called her "Mrs. Zhong" like Shen Mingzhu, it would seem impolite.
Calling her "Madam" was just right, as it has always been a term of respect for the lady of a noble family throughout history.
