Chapter 131: The Fourth Son of the Song Family Entertains Relatives in Colorful Garments
As the Lady of the house, nothing in the mansion eludes Madam. After hearing Nanny’s report, she let out an almost imperceptible sneer, glanced at the Madams from the two mansions watching the theater, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the mockery in her eyes.
The Li Mansion, which has always prided itself on placing etiquette above all, and values rules and propriety most, do they know that their young lady intends to intrude upon the gentlemen’s gathering place?
And this is the family of the Minister of Rites.
Then there’s the Pingchang Marquis Mansion. Many years ago, their grand Madams publicly claimed that the Song Mansion were country bumpkins who didn’t understand manners. Now, how is it with the young lady of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion?
Madam softly instructed, "Have someone keep a closer watch, don’t let those young ladies wander blindly. For those two young ladies, when you escort the guests out, apologize to Madam Li and the Madam of Pingchang Marquis."
Nanny’s eyes flickered, and she said respectfully, "Rest assured, Madam, this old servant will certainly apologize properly."
Madam smiled, and once again focused her gaze on the theater stage. Nanny was most attuned to her intentions and surely would reclaim a sense of dignity for the Song Mansion.
Onstage, a performance of "The Romance of the Western Chamber" came to a close, and many of the Madams below were sniffling, moved to tears.
