"Why are you all allowed to have a lively gathering, but I'm not allowed to come?" Mrs. Pei said with a smile as she walked inside.
Qu Fulan also stepped forward to greet her, paying respects to Mrs. Pei and the Heir Pei, "Having you and the princely heir gracing our humble abode truly makes it shine brightly."
Mrs. Pei, with a slightly reproachful tone, said, "On such a joyous occasion, you didn't invite me. Are you perhaps disdaining me?"
Qu Fulan hurriedly replied that she wouldn't dare.
Indeed, she truly wouldn't dare. It wasn't intentional that she didn't invite Mrs. Pei; when writing the invitation, all aspects had been considered. For example, when the Third Miss or Fang Yuan hosted events like flower appreciation banquets, they wouldn't invite Mrs. Pei; or when other young ladies hosted events for the youth, they also wouldn't invite elders.
After all, it wasn't a holiday that required the presence of all family elders.
