The small gathering for Dan Ge'er's full month celebration was held at Chunhui Hall. Since Old Master Song had returned, the main table was set for Song Ci and the Old Master, accompanied by their sons and a few boys, while Madam Song and the other ladies sat at another table.
Since not many people were invited, there were only a few guests at the banquet. Song Ci, benevolent as he was, graciously allowed Concubine Mei and Concubine Shui to have their own table, with Concubine Shen also seated there.
This was already considered a great honor, so Concubine Mei and the others were very excited. It showed that the Old Madam regarded them as family, allowing them to participate in even such family gatherings.
Just as the atmosphere was filled with joy, Old Master Song glanced over at the concubines' table and turned to Song Zhiqing, asking, "Don't you have another concubine? Why isn't she here? After all, she gave birth to a pair of twins; she should be allowed to join."
