Thereafter, Mrs. Shen's house arrest was lifted. She became the Mistress of the household in the Shen residence once more and personally presided over Shen Rong's funeral.
When Song Rui saw Mrs. Shen again, Mrs. Shen had changed her usual arrogant image. She was now dignified and calm.
"Greetings, Mistress!" Song Rui stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Shen.
"No need for formalities," Mrs. Shen said. She looked at Song Rui with some gentleness.
"Master has already handed Rong'er's funeral arrangements to me.
"Next, I'll have to trouble Lord Song to help." As she said this, a hint of underlying meaning flashed across Mrs. Shen's eyes.
Song Rui quickly lowered his head and avoided Mrs. Shen's gaze.
"Yes, Mistress," he replied.
When she saw this, Mrs. Shen didn't get angry and immediately talked to Song Rui about the funeral arrangements.
