The main courtyard welcomes a new addition, bringing celebrations throughout the mansion, signifying the crisis has been averted. Everyone can finally show relieved smiles, breaking free from the somber mood.
Jiang and Lu, who had been waiting in the main courtyard, felt relieved as well. As sisters-in-law and as women, they held no malicious intentions, hoping for trouble to befall Madam Song. After all, if she encountered problems, Song Zhiyuan would surely remarry in the future.
With Song Zhiyuan holding the rank of a top official, it's unclear who he would marry next. If it were someone difficult to get along with, they'd have a hard time dealing with it. It was better to stick with Madam Song, who, though she considered herself superior and high-minded, at least wasn't malicious or mean-spirited, and wasn't stingy about relinquishing power when necessary.
