Song Zi sincerely asked Madam to be the main guest for her eldest daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, which was indeed a good thing. Madam did not decline and readily agreed, considering that the sister-in-law was quite adept and not annoying; giving her this honor was no harm.
But when this news reached Mrs. Lu's ears, it wasn't perceived the same way.
They are both aunts, and yet she is a close relative. Song Zi didn't consider her, ultimately because her status wasn't high enough.
See, this is how it is with people: those with poor backgrounds and low status simply don't get recognized.
This matter made Mrs. Lu all the more concerned about Song Ruwei's future marriage prospects. If Wei'er doesn't want to follow the same old path, she needs to marry well.
