With fewer people in the mansion, the reunion dinner was set in Old Madam's room.
Madam Wu led the way out of the Warm Pavilion.
Mrs. Zhou was at the end, and Mu Lianxiao went over to support her, whispering, "Mother, Aunt..."
Mrs. Zhou shook her head, interrupting Mu Lianxiao's words, "I know she resents me, and she's only able to resent me. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."
Mu Lianxiao lowered his eyes and said, "But that wasn't your fault."
Mu Yuanjing's distant marriage to Shu was orchestrated by Mrs. Zhou, and the Liu Family was also chosen by her. Although it was decided by Mu Shi Yuan and Madam Wu, Mrs. Zhou's role in it was akin to how she chose Du Yunluo's Lian Family for Mu Lianxiao.
