Jin Qianqian had just returned from outside the mansion when Qing Mei took out the day's invitations. "Here's an invitation from the Minister of War Mansion that arrived this morning. It's for their child's one-month celebration.

Jin Qianqian rubbed her head, a headache coming on. These banquets came one after another, each from a prominent family, making them difficult to refuse.
"Oh, right," Qing Mei added, pulling another card from her robes. "Xu Yapo sent a calling card. It seems she has news about the manor."
Jin Qianqian reached out and took the card. Finally, amidst the pile of banquet invitations, there was a different kind of news—and it was about something she'd been longing for.
