"Wei Yanyan, what brings you here?" He Qiuniang asked instinctively in surprise.
Gua66 in Shi Yu's mind responded happily.
[Yu Yu, I know why Wei Yanyan came!]
Shi Yu was a little impatient. "If you know, just say it already!"
Gua66, [These two invitations were deliberately sent by Madam Wang to curry favor with the Wei family.]
[They just wanted to humiliate your mother in front of Wei Yanyan.]
[This way, the Wang family could establish a closer relationship with the Wei family.]
Shi Yu gritted his teeth in anger. [What a vicious woman!]
However, Wei Yanyan's plan to see my mother make a fool of herself is probably not going to succeed.
It seems like Madam Wang and Lord Wang are fighting right now, hahaha...
"If you can come, why can't I?" Wei Yanyan glared angrily at He Qiuniang.
I'm so annoyed!
He Qiuniang had five children, but due to an accident, she suddenly became infertile.
I really want to strangle He Qiuniang's child.
Especially the one she was holding.
She's been eating other people's gossip every day; she's practically eaten her underwear off.
"Alright, since you're already here, don't rush off." Wei Yanyan's smile was unfriendly.
"Well, you are, after all, the master's second wife. Today, I, the first wife, will take you out to broaden your horizons."
As Wei Yanyan spoke, she directly blocked He Qiuniang's escape route, forcing her to return to the birthday banquet.
Inside the main hall, the masters and mistresses of various families, along with their young masters and mistresses, were celebrating Old Madam Wang's birthday.
Wei Yanyan stepped forward and had the maid bring out her gift.
"Wishing Madam Wang boundless happiness and longevity, and may she enjoy the same joys and sorrows year after year."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid stepped forward and unfolded her gift.
It is a large golden Shu brocade longevity painting.
He Qiuniang: This birthday painting looks a bit familiar, doesn't it?
[Hahaha...] The baby's laughter suddenly exploded in everyone's minds.
The once festive and lively main hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone: What happened?
Who's talking inside their heads?
They looked completely bewildered, as if they had witnessed a miracle, which made He Qiuniang awkwardly turn her head away.
She knew that bringing Shi Yu to a crowded place would end up like this.
If I had known, I should have been heartless and not come to this birthday banquet in the first place.
[Hahahaha...] Shi Yu laughed for a while before stopping.
Is Wei Yanyan trying to make me laugh to death so she can inherit my melon patch?
[Isn't this birthday picture something my mother embroidered herself for Grandma Shi?]
[There's also a small, subtly embroidered character for "autumn" in the lower left corner.]
[Haha, stealing my mother's embroidery and giving it to someone else, that's just unbelievable!]
He Qiuniang exclaimed in surprise: What? It really is her embroidery?
She said she thought he looked so familiar.
He Qiuniang quickly stepped forward and looked at the lower left corner.
She pointed to the hidden characters in the lower left corner and questioned Wei Yanyan.
"If it's a gift from you, then why is my given name on it?"
Wei Yanyan's face stiffened.
She never expected that she would find the gift from He Qiuniang by simply taking something from Old Madam Shi's trunk.
"I had someone embroider this piece."
"The embroiderer's name just happens to contain the character 'Qiu' (秋), what's so strange about that?"
Wei Yanyan argued illogically.
In such a public setting, she would absolutely not admit to stealing other people's belongings.
"We're here today to celebrate Madam Wang's birthday. Since you're so excited, why don't you take out the gift you prepared and show it to everyone?"
Take it if you want.
[When I take out my mother's gift, it'll dazzle you all.]
Shi Yu nestled proudly in He Qiu Niang's arms.
"Sigh, it's just a pity." The little child's voice couldn't help but sigh.
Such a wonderful gift should be given to Old Madam Wang for free.
[Her daughter-in-law, Madam Wang, was just trying to humiliate my mother.]
[Mom, you can take it, but please don't actually give it away out of spite.]
They weren't really inviting us to celebrate their birthday; just accept the gifts.
He Qiuniang: You little rascal, you're quite good at saving her money.
All eyes in the main hall were on He Qiuniang's face.
He Qiuniang stepped forward, her face calm and resolute.
Like seaweed in the ocean, she finds her own carefree joy regardless of raging waves.
"I'll make a fool of myself," He Qiu Niang smiled slightly, not intending to swallow her pride.
Chunhua stepped forward and took out a box about the size of her palm.
Then one of the doors opened, and the room was filled with light.
"Ugh, what is that? It's so dazzling."
"That looks like a luminous pearl."
"Oh, no, no, that looks like a South China Sea pearl."
"What? Mermaid pearls from the South China Sea? There are mermaids in the South China Sea who live in the water like fish, yet they do not cease spinning and weaving. When they weep, pearls can come out of their eyes."
"Wow! It's actually a South China Sea pearl. Compared to this, Lady Xinshi's gift is not only vulgar but also worthless."
"You, you money-grubbing, vulgar people!" Wei Yanyan was angry and immediately launched into a tirade.
She clutched her handkerchief, her face contorted with resentment.
That He Qiuniang, she has such good things but she won't give them to her, it's infuriating!
[Wow, what a bright pearl!] Shi Yu was also slightly surprised by the luster of the pearl.
It's almost as good as the lighting beads she used to have in the cave.
[It's much bigger and brighter than the one my older brother gave me last time.]
[Mother, Yuyu wants it! We can't give it to anyone else!]
"Ahhh~" Shi Yu was anxious, and she even made a sound.
