Qi Haoran was a little dejected because Shu Wanniang said that Mu Yangling had never had a proper birthday celebration before. He'd wanted to give her a proper birthday present when she turned 12.
Qi Haoran had volunteered to take on this heavy responsibility. He had already planned to hold it in the Qi Residence of Hanzhong Prefecture and invite a few acquaintances over to play. The most important thing was to let Mu Shi take some time off to attend his daughter's birthday banquet.
Qi Haoran had even prepared a huge gift for her, but now that he was going to Tongchuan to quell the rebellion, it was impossible for him to participate.
He went to look for Mu Yangling in frustration to tell her the bad news.
