Mrs. Gu Sr. snorted, "I already have plans for this. After waiting so many years, a year or two won't matter. Just take care of Brother Xuan's marriage. Also, Second Miss Wu will be entering the mansion this autumn. After all, she saved the Marquis's life and is a concubine, so arrange a separate courtyard for her."
Mrs. Dong forced a smile, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything is arranged."
Mrs. Gu Sr. nodded. Mrs. Dong understood it was time for her to leave, so she wisely stood up to take her leave.
As soon as she left the room, the color drained from Mrs. Dong's face. Although she was the household's main wife, she felt humiliated by her mother-in-law elevating a concubine's daughter from the Wu Mansion in her presence. Such treatment seemed to challenge established conventions, didn't Mrs. Gu Sr. fear destabilizing them?
Mrs. Dong bit her lip tightly and bumped into a servant woman from the gate as she turned, "Whose invitation is that in your hand?"
