Upon hearing Dabao, Afu laughed heartily, seemingly looking forward to that scenario. She said, "Alright, your mother will look forward to that day. So remember, it's not just your mom who will love you, there'll be more than your sister and Chu... your father. There will be more and more relatives who love you and depend on you. Isn't it?"
Dabao nodded his head and smiled even more sweetly.
After appeasing the mischievous child and coaxing him to take his nap, Afu picked up her things and prepared to leave.
Afu cleaned up, took some vegetarian snacks and dishes, and went to Lu Garden to prepare for the evening meal.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a horse-drawn carriage pulling up in front of the house with Qingfeng stepping out of it.
She approached Afu and smiled, "The Master and Madam sent me to wish Eldest Lady a happy birthday."
Afu, laughing, invited her inside the house. She offered her a seat and poured her tea.
