The General Mansion was holding a funeral, and on this day when Xu Jia returned to her parent's home, she dressed particularly simply.
In keeping with etiquette, Tang Yuan also changed into a simple robe.
His acting was superb, showing a smile when facing the Yue Family and, in conversation, not forgetting to express concern for his new wife.
Mrs. Xu, whose heart had been hanging, was relieved after seeing Tang Yuan, secretly praising the Tang Family for their cultured background, being far beyond what an ordinary family could compare to.
Xu Jia remained silent throughout, only pulling a smile when Tang Yuan's gaze landed on her.
She didn't want her mother and brother and sister-in-law to worry about matters in her husband's family.
The couple went to offer incense at the old lady's coffin, then had a meal, after which Tang Yuan was called away by Xu Shu, while Mrs. Xu took her daughter-in-law Song Fang and daughter Xu Jia to the back hall to talk.
