The news that both Song Lingsu and Song Lingjie passed the examination soon spread throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone was filled with joyous celebration. If it weren't for the fact that these new scholars hadn't returned yet, the front of the mansion might have already been set ablaze with a long string of firecrackers.
A clever and lively maid immediately went to Madam Song to ask for the lively task of going to the Duke Dingguo Mansion to deliver the good news to their prospective in-laws, regardless of the late hour.
Meanwhile, Madam Song and her two sisters-in-law seized the opportunity to visit Song Ci during the routine morning and evening greetings to join in the celebration.
Song Ci laughed and said, "This is a joyous occasion that brings honor to our family. We will celebrate once the children return."
