So this year is no exception; the only change is that the three granddaughters who had married were called back to celebrate.
The Duke Mansion's courtyard was still lively and festive.
Even though Xiao Qinghui disliked banquets, the Duke Mansion was still meticulously decorated, looking opulent and beaming with joy.
Early in the morning.
The entire Song Family, including Song Yuanzhong, Ming Yufang, along with Song Yanqing, Xie Ruotong, and Xie Ruilin, took a carriage to the Duke Mansion.
Then, Xie Ruiyao arrived.
As the Princess Consort to the Prince of Chu, Xie Ruiyao's entourage was naturally even grander.
Her arrival was escorted by numerous maids and guards—a truly impressive sight!
The Duke and his wife personally welcomed her at the doorway.
Of course, the Song Family did as well.
Xie Ruilin watched as Xie Ruiyao dazzled brightly and felt somewhat jealous nonetheless.
She hadn't expected that Xie Ruiyao would truly have an affair with the Prince of Chu.
