On the 28th of the lunar year, the second son went to Hong Jing's home to deliver the festival gifts, but before that, he invited their family out for a meal first, as per Mu Chenyan's request.
She found out about the second son's matters from Mu Jiawen and said that since they were formally going to someone's house to give festival gifts, how could they do so without an elder representative to meet them?
If Xiaotie didn't mind, she could act as his elder.
The second son couldn't have been happier; how could he possibly mind?
So, in addition to the second son and the three members of Hong Jing's family, there were also Mu Chenyan, Jiang Yan, and Mu Jiawen dining together.
Hong Jing's parents surely knew of Mu Chenyan's great fame; both were initially surprised, but then the stone that had been hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.
