"Mother-in-law, I really failed to greet you properly."
Song Ci came in, smiling as he greeted Madam Gu.
Madam Gu held her hand and said, "I've not visited for a long time, it should be me who visits you first. I've been so worried about Xiangyi that I forgot my manners. Please forgive me this time, dear mother-in-law."
Song Ci replied, "We are family, why talk of forgiveness? That would put me in a difficult position. The Gu Family has long been looking forward to your visit, and now that you're here, I might take up your time and chat with you, which might make her blame me as an inconsiderate mother-in-law."
