Madam Chen glanced at Daohua. Although her daughter-in-law's words were unpleasant, the eldest Miss Yan nevertheless publicly embarrassed the host, making it difficult for them to save face, which was also a thorny issue. After pondering for a moment, she said with a smile.
"Miss Yan, please don't be angry. Our family has just arrived in Ningmen Prefecture and there's still a lot we haven't sorted out. The matter of sending out invitations was managed by this old woman. You see, once you get to a certain age, you become unreliable, always forgetting things. Your family's invitation was actually written first, but I simply forgot about it. I am truly sorry."
Hearing this, Madam Li and Madam Dong's faces changed.
When an elder apologizes to a younger person, no matter the reason, it reflects poorly on the younger; if this got out, Daohua would surely gain a reputation for being disrespectful to her elders.
