But at this last stage, her aunt, Madam Ma, almost got into an argument with Mrs. Lin, who was arranging the seats.
Mrs. Lin was originally the one in charge of the garden, but because of the banquet today, she was sent to the front to help.
Mrs. Shen's table was occupied by people like Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Du, and there was no seat allocated for Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Lin led her and Du Ruoxuan to the side, but Madam Ma, relying on the fact that she was the lady's relative and the aunt of the eldest young lady in the mansion, also wanted to go to that table.
Mrs. Lin couldn't speak directly, so she said tactfully, "There's no room over there, but there are two here. This way, the two ladies won't have to separate."
Madam Ma didn't listen. "Isn't there an empty seat? I can just go sit there. Let her stay here."
Du Ruoxuan naturally understood the rules of this kind of occasion. She quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Aunt, your status is not appropriate. We can just sit here."

"Aunt, listen to me. The old woman just now didn't know your identity, so she arranged the seats randomly. Come with me. I have reserved a private room for you and my mother."
When Mrs. Ma saw that it was Liu Wanyun, the expression on her face became much better. She had seen the style of her eldest niece as the head of the family today.
"Really? I told you that person is so mean, take me there right now!"
But when she got to the room, the smile on Mrs. Ma's face disappeared instantly.
