"Old Madam, the Zhou Family has arrived." Just as the evening meal was cleared, a young servant ran in to report.
Old Madam glanced at the time and said curiously, "At this hour, what are they here for?"
The Zhou Family was Madam Zhou's maternal family, and due to their merchant status, apart from sending money to Zhou Wanqing, they typically had little interaction with the Marquis Mansion.
Madam Zhou hurried out to greet them and found that the person leading them was Steward Sun of the Zhou Family.
Steward Sun was a trusted confidant of the Zhou Family Head and was in his prime before Madam Zhou got married.
The two hadn't seen each other in several years, and now Steward Sun's temples were gray, his body soaked, appearing rather disheveled.
Upon seeing Madam Zhou, Steward Sun quickly bowed in greeting, "I... I pay my respects to the Marchioness and to Old Madam Gu."
