Chapter 604: Building Relationships_1

Otherwise, the First House was likely to sink with the ship of the Fu family.

Although the First House and Fu Ruoxi's Second House had already separated, the Princess of Zhen was willing to lend a hand; she could still save the First House.

As Madam Fu of the First House was about to get up, she heard a report from outside that the Dong family had come to offer condolences.

Madam Fu's heart leaped with joy. She craned her neck to look outside, and sure enough, saw Lord Dong, Minister of Honglu Temple, leading his family.

Lord Dong was the uncle of the Princess of Zhen, and his wife, Mrs. Song, was the princess's aunt. If she accompanied Mrs. Song to have tea in the back, it would be only natural to engage with the princess. This way, the princess would know that they, the First House, were the Dong family's in-laws and deserved clemency and care. In fairness, the princess should be looking out for their First House.
