"Who has Madam Song of the second branch brought with her today?" Xin He asked softly.
Xiaoyu said, "Almost all the Song ladies are here, except for the second Miss of the Song family, who is frail and finds it inconvenient to go out."
Xin He nodded: "I remember that it was always Lady Song of the third branch who came in the past few times. Why has Madam Song from the second branch come this time?"
"You know well, madam, that the third branch of the Song family is illegitimate, and Lady Song of the third branch is quite ostentatious. She often touts under the Song family's banner in the marketplace, even taking some silver coins. The Song family probably felt embarrassed by her, so they no longer let her go out. Instead, they let Madam Song of the second branch, who typically dislikes making a fuss, to socialize."
