Cui Mansion
Early in the morning, all the daughters-in-law of the Cui family went to pay their respects to Old Madam.
There was a room full of people at Old Madam's place, apart from the daughters-in-law of the Cui family, there were also a few of her granddaughters.
A room full of people were all waiting for Old Madam to come out, and it was truly as silent as a grave when sitting in the outer room.
Mrs. Guan also came to pay respects to Old Madam; she sat below Mrs. Zhao with her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
Mrs. Ji, with concubine Cui Yue'e of the second branch sitting beside her, nodded towards Mrs. Zhao and was just about to ask for permission when Old Madam came out, leaning on the hand of Qingping.
Everyone in the room quickly stood up to pay their respects to Old Madam.
