A scholarly family like the Yu Residence, which relied on hard work to achieve the status of an official, and the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, which relied on military contributions to earn the status of a lord, looked down on the imperial family.
It was a different story for the imperial family that gained power.
In the past, the Duke Rong's Residence had been the imperial family that had seized the title.
When the current emperor ascended the throne, he had the intention to pardon some relatives who had committed minor crimes, so there was the matter of Duke Rong ordering the reinstatement of his title.
In the early years, Old Madam Yu had some dealings with the Duke Rong's Residence.
Later on, when Old Madam Yu lived as a widow, she no longer went out much, and her relationship with the Duke Rong's Residence completely faded.
