Two days later, Lady Wu and Lady Shen visited, saying the courtyard was ready, inviting their family over for a casual meal.
Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang readily agreed.
They even offered to have Old Madam Ding and others from the kitchen help on that day, fearing Lady Wu and her daughter-in-law couldn't manage alone.
Lady Wu and her daughter-in-law had this intention too, as they were new to the area without any relatives, inviting them for a meal was a gesture of gratitude.
It happened that the Wu Family chose a day when the County Yamen was on holiday.
These days, Wu Zhongbao followed Song Chongjin without restraint, anyone seeing someone suddenly trusted by the County Magistrate would inquire more.
Rumor had it that Wu Zhongbao and the County Magistrate were old acquaintances, and he had come to seek Lord Song; judging by Lord Song's attitude, it seemed Wu Zhongbao would be relied upon.
