The Marquis Mansion was about to host a chrysanthemum banquet; starting with the Marchioness, several female leads were busy preparing.
The Ma Family was a young daughter-in-law, and was never one to seek power or authority, she never took the initiative to involve herself in household duties.
At most, the Marchioness saw her with ample free time and assigned her a less important task for her to oversee.
For instance, this time, it was nominally a chrysanthemum banquet, but actually, it was for Gu Jingyuan's return, a matter of the third branch.
Although the Ma Family did not need to shoulder the main responsibilities, if she were to shirk all duties, it wouldn't be her unwillingness to compete with her sisters-in-law, but rather her lack of sensibility.
The Marchioness was always astute and conducted matters discreetly, so she naturally wouldn't let such an obvious family discord arise.
Thus, she assigned the Ma Family the duty of managing the tableware and decorations.
