The Empress Dowager received the long-awaited statue of Laozi, and the Zhang family not only received gifts bestowed by the Empress but also a very precious piece of calligraphy, making everyone happy.
Even more joyful was that the birthday gift from Old Madam Liu, initially just of medium value, instantaneously gained significant worth.
Though the birthday celebration was two months ago, not only did she receive a greeting letter from the Zhang family in Longzhou, but she also received a hefty gift.
Even someone as seasoned and composed as she could not help but laugh out loud, saying, "This is truly an unexpected surprise."
