In the Shen family mansion, Mao Taixi and Shen Yongji were sitting in the attic having tea and chatting. Mao Taixi's wife, Mao Xiujuan, and their daughter, Shen Junru, were accompanying them.
"Uncle, why didn't my cousin come with you?" Shen Junru asked.
"He did come, but when we reached Suifeng, he said he had other things to do and we parted ways." Mao Taixi explained.
Changing the topic, Mao Taixi asked, "By the way, how are the wedding preparations with the Hua Family going?"
"We plan to get engaged next month," Shen Junru answered.
Mao Taixi nodded approvingly, "It's good to settle the marriage early. With the marriage alliance to the Hua Family and their resources, the Shen Family can further strengthen. There's a strong hope of surpassing the Zhuo Family and becoming the number one family in Danyang within ten years."
