It was impossible for the Xu's to fulfill her duties as a mistress.

Counting it, a month had already passed. The matter of Song Yun being beheaded had already faded and became a topic of idle banter amongst the others. However, to the Xu's, this matter was still as clear and vivid as if it had happened yesterday.

”Grandmother, then let me go with mother.” Song Rong said.

”You want to go as well?” The old lady was really reluctant to part with Song Rong now. If it were not for Song Rong helping her with her work these few days, she really did not know how she would end up.

”Grandmother, I am worried about mother going alone.” Song Rong said truthfully.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, ”It's fine if you go, but you don't have to stay for long. Just go through the formalities and let the people of Chu Residence know that our Song Mansion values the Chu Residence a lot.”

Before he told the Xu's to go, Old Mistress Song sent someone to tell him that the First Madam was not here.

If that was the case, Chu Residence would say that it was fine, so there was no need for him to go. If Chu Residence continued to invite him, then he could only send Xu's over, and Chu Residence would also make preparations, silently allowing Xu's to appear within the Chu Residence.

Xu's didn't want to travel at such a time, but the Old Madam had already spoken. The Old Madam was the one in charge of this family, so even if she didn't want to go out, she couldn't do it.

When he went there, it was almost noon, both Xu's and Song Rong did not want to appear too early.

Their identities would make many people feel unlucky. If they didn't have to appear, it would be best if they appeared a bit later.

Song Rong had already known from the beginning that the people of the Chu Residence would not refuse. Even if someone from the Song Mansion had just died today, the Chu Residence would not reject someone from the Chu Residence.

Even though Xu's and Song Rong appeared very low-key when they appeared, they still attracted the attention of everyone.

”This is... Second Madam Song, right? ” Madame Chu came up to greet him, and said while looking at him.

Song Rong swept her eyes across the Madame Chu. The current Madame Chu was not very old, and looked very dignified. Naturally, the more dignified she looked, the more people felt that she was fake.

Madame Chu was wearing red clothes. For people with bigger rules, like her, they didn't have the qualifications to wear red. However, she didn't know how Madame Chu managed to confuse Master Chu, but many things happened in accordance to her will.

In comparison, Song Rong and Xu's's clothes were much more elegant.

Xu's was wearing a light pink set of clothes. The pink was extremely light, but there was still color. It had to be known that Xu's had been at home for the past few days, wearing much lighter clothes than this.

As for Song Rong, the lotus color clothes she was wearing was much better than the one she had on Xu's.

When Madame Chu was born, a banquet had already been set up, but at that time, no one from Song Family was invited.

The banquet this time was called the Spring Festival, but in reality, it was the Madame Chu who, in order to not offend others, wanted to invite them for a banquet.

There weren't many people present, and when Song Rong took a look, he saw that there were only seven or eight ladies in the hall.
