Upon receiving the invitation, Madam Wen hesitated. Her invitation was slightly different, specifically requesting Wen Zishan to attend, which implied certain intentions.
To be honest, Madam Wen felt both worried and somewhat secretly delighted. She worried because she had tested Princess Anping several times during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, yet the princess neither accepted nor fully rejected. However, later on, when Madam Song came, and upon further probing, the princess directly refused.
Though not explicitly stated, anyone could tell from her words that it was a refusal, so there was no point in pursuing the matter further.
Later, she started to ponder whether the Song Family had taken an interest in her daughter, Shan'er. Now, with the invitation, their interest seemed to have grown from fifty to sixty or seventy percent.
The Song Family?
