This explained why Daohua arrived late.
Upon hearing this, everyone praised Daohua's filial piety, regardless of what they might think privately.
Of those gathered, only Madam Xu, who had just been speaking, had a somewhat stiff expression. Just as she was about to say something, Daohua approached and spoke first.
"Which madam is this?"
Madam Xu was taken aback by Daohua coming directly over to her and was momentarily stunned.
Seeing this reaction, Daohua smiled radiantly, "When I entered the courtyard, I heard the madam's voice calling out to me. I thought it was an aunt from a familiar family, and I didn't expect... it was Yiyi's mistake to not know which family the madam belongs to."
The ladies and young misses in the room watched with great interest.
Old Madam Yan chided her with a smile, "You girl, you're too rude. That is Madam Xu from the Imperial Censor Xu's family."
