Tonight, the entire family was staying up late at Mrs. Wang's place. As soon as Shi Yumei entered the courtyard, she could hear various sounds of laughter and merrymaking coming from the rooms. The lively atmosphere was a stark contrast to the desolation on her side, nearly bringing her to tears again.
The lanterns along the corridor brightly lit the courtyard. Shi Yumei and her servant had just entered when they were spotted, and the young maids hurried over with smiles, saying, "Big Auntie Granny, you're here at last! The main madam was just thinking of you!" Another ran inside to report her arrival.
"I know mother is thinking of me, as soon as I settled my husband, I came right over!" Shi Yumei said with a beaming smile, the proud look of a senior daughter in the family returning to her face.
