This was the final day of the wake for Mrs. Shen.
The city gates were still sealed. The Pei family was unsure whether to prepare for the funeral procession, and they were consulting with several Mages about choosing another auspicious day for the burial.
But not long after lunch, the Prefectural Magistrate Mansion, which had given them the cold shoulder for days, suddenly sent a messenger with news: the city gates would open early the next morning, and it would not affect the Pei Family's funeral arrangements in any way.
The messenger was respectful in both word and deed, completely lacking his previous arrogance.
The contrast was stark; their attitude had done a complete one-eighty.
The Pei family was both shocked and delighted. Racking their brains, they realized the only connection in their clan who could command such respect was their in-law, the Duke Mansion.
It must be out of respect for the Duke Shen Mansion, right?
