As for Wen Jin, although she was there every time, she didn't come up and put all the blame on others like Hu Mengyao did. She has her own judgment and is considered a relatively reasonable person.
When they arrived at the large courtyard specially prepared for presenting birthday gifts, they saw Second Madam Zheng chatting animatedly with a group of other ladies.
