During the New Year, it's all about feasting from one house to another, visiting back and forth. Song Ci, being advanced in age, with the weather still cold, took advantage of her body's weakness as an excuse not to go around, instead spending her days at home with her grandchildren, listening to gossip from various families.
One piece of news was from the Qingcheng Marquis Mansion. After their family feast, Yuan Liren managed to convince his parents, separating his branch from the family, establishing separate residences. The mansion split further into West Mansion and East Mansion, with two wives both prominent, and his son Yuan Hao taking on the task of maintaining both branches. When he marries and has children in the future, one will be sent to the Luo family for succession.
This turned out to be a solution that satisfied everyone involved.
Another matter, of course, was the lawsuit involving Prince Min Mansion.
