Wufu, upon seeing that Eldest Master Meng and his brother were both present, realized the importance the Meng family placed on her visit. She couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed for being late; she should have come earlier, as now it seemed she was lacking in manners.
Fortunately, the two masters only wanted to meet her briefly. As they were gentlemen, they left after seeing her, taking the other male members with them, leaving only the women.
Apart from the women of the East Mansion, a few people from the West Mansion came as well upon hearing the news, and they all met together.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wufu accompanied Old Lady Meng and others in conversation, discussing what they usually did at home, their ages, and the books they read—ordinary topics.
Wufu picked her words carefully, half-truths and half-lies, fearing that if she revealed everything she did daily, she might shock this scholarly family.
