During this period, Xu Jing often went to the Song Mansion for follow-up consultations with Young Madam Zhao, so she had become quite familiar with the Song Mansion.
A couple of days ago, when she visited the Song Mansion, she tactfully mentioned to Madam Song that she was a bit shy and didn't want to attend occasions where she had to face too many strangers.
Madam Song immediately understood what she meant and smiled, saying, "In that case, on the day of my grandson's birthday banquet, Doctor Xu can come in directly through the back door. I will have someone there in advance to meet you. The people I want to introduce you to are ladies and madams who are quite friendly with me; they are all very kind people, so you needn't worry."
Madam Song assumed that Xu Jing was uneasy about facing so many women from prominent families, so she said this to reassure her.
