Shen Yuansong hung up the phone and turned to the butler, Uncle Liu, saying, "There have been too many rumors circulating outside lately. Later, explain to everyone at home that for now, we shouldn't tell Bijun about Chu Cimo's matter."
The butler nodded in agreement and then said, "Master, all the married ladies of the family have returned."
Shen Yuansong immediately nodded in response.
He had just mentioned that there were some issues to address, and it was precisely this matter. After a moment of silence, he said, "Call Bijun as well. It's time for her to recognize her relatives."

Shen Bijun was called out by the butler to find the Shens' household downstairs was very lively.
All the ladies of the Shen family who had married into the Capital, and even those living nearby, had returned.
This reunion, although not filled with laughter and joy, was also not shrouded in gloom.
As she descended the stairs, Shen Yuansong introduced each visitor to her.
