At this moment, Housekeeper Hu shouted from outside, "Grand Dowager, young masters, madams!" The room quieted down, and Housekeeper Hu continued, "Chief De from the Empress Dowager's side has arrived."
No one expected Chief De to come. The people in the room left and indeed saw Chief De talking with Fourth Master Xiao and Xiao Yanting. Seeing the Grand Dowager leading a group of people out, Fourth Master Xiao, afraid that everyone might feel uneasy, said, "The Empress Dowager knows that today is Mother's birthday, and she specifically sent Chief De to deliver a birthday gift to you."
Since it was just a small birthday celebration, they didn't dare to make it elaborate and hadn't informed others. The Empress Dowager's gift surprised everyone, but despite the surprise, the gift still needed to be received. The Grand Dowager hurriedly had someone put away a box brought by Le Xiu, not knowing what was inside, and it was immediately set up as an offering.
