"Is that so? Well, that's good, Grandpa Huo favors gifts that are thoughtful."
Sheng Xueqin did not continue to ask what Mu Lan had prepared, opting instead to investigate privately. In any case, she was determined to make Mu Lan, the nominal granddaughter-in-law, embarrass herself thoroughly at Old Master Huo's birthday banquet!
Mu Lan, watching the exchange at the doorway, suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and walked past nonchalantly.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, is this Mrs. Huo?"
"Yes, it is."
"I'm terribly sorry, but the appointment you wanted to make with Master Yao to have double-sided embroidery done on your Tang suit might be a bit too late. Master Yao has been in a bad mood recently, and she went to the Jingxin Hermitage on the outskirts of the city to fast today."
"How long will Master Yao be fasting?"
