Before they knew it, it was the birthday of the old lady of the Li family.

Early that morning, the four siblings of the Mu family dressed and waited for Madam Li at the second gate.

Everyone was in high spirits along the way, but Mu Xinyao was unusually quiet, something Mu Xinnuan had already expected! This quietness was simply a prelude to her arrival at the Zhenguo General's Mansion, where she would make a stunning debut. Just like in her previous life, she would remain unassuming, but once she made her move, it would be enough to amaze everyone!

"Elder sister, why did you let so many things go out? Is there something good to eat?" Mu Qingyuan asked, tilting her head.

Mu Qingxuan snorted, "All you know is how to eat! How could your elder sister be so tasteless!"

Mu Xin Nuan smiled, "Ah Xuan, don't talk about Ah Yuan like that. He was just curious. It's nothing really, just some little trinkets for my cousins ​​to play with. If you want some too, just come find me at Yue Xuan when you get back. I have plenty more."

"Really? Thank you so much, elder sister."

Mu Xinyao watched coldly from the side, her heart filled with disdain! However, she didn't show it. Mu Xinnuan, just you wait! Today, you'll have your day to cry!

When they arrived at the Zhenguo General's Mansion, it was already packed with guests. Madam Li led her children to the back hall to kowtow to the old lady and offer her birthday wishes before taking their seats below her.

"Anuan, come here quickly! Come to your grandmother's house! It's been so many days since you last visited your grandmother. Have you forgotten about me?"

Mu Xin felt a warmth in her heart. This was the first time she had seen her maternal grandmother since her rebirth. The feeling of her loved ones being alive and by her side was incredibly heartwarming.

"Anuan, your grandmother is right. Why haven't you come to visit in so long? I heard your mother was busy the other day, why didn't you come? You really deserve a beating!"

Mu Xin Nuan saw her aunt Liu, who was smiling and gently scolding her, and her nose tingled and her eyes reddened. She quickly took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart.

“Auntie is right, it’s all Anuan’s fault! From now on, Anuan will definitely come to visit Grandmother more often.”

"What are you waiting for? You're not leaving today!" The voice was crisp and clear. Without turning around, Mu Xin Nuan knew that it came from her dear cousin.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned my head, I saw Li Wanyue enter in a light-colored, floor-length dress with a hundred flowers, and a jade hairpin with begonia beads on her head, which made her look exceptionally beautiful.

"Greetings to my eldest cousin." Mu Xin Nuan quickly curtsied.

"Alright! Why bother with all this formality in front of me? But you, now that you're here, you're not allowed to leave. What does Grandmother think?" With that, she took Mu Xin Nuan's hand and looked at the old lady with a questioning expression.

Madam Li was naturally delighted. "Good! Good! Then it's settled!" After saying that, she looked at her daughter. "Lanxin, it's settled then. Anuan, stay here with me for a few more days and keep this old woman company, okay?"

"Yes, as long as Mother is happy. Just make sure she doesn't get annoyed later, then we can have our daughter come and pick her up."

These words naturally caused a burst of laughter and commotion among everyone in the room.

"Did my older cousin see what I had sent over?"

"Yes, of course I saw it. I see you're quite thoughtful, you even prepared a copy for everyone."

"What good stuff? Is there anything for your aunt?" Liu asked with a smile when she heard the two sisters whispering.

"Of course we have some. They were just sent to my eldest cousin. If my aunt wants any kind, she can just go and choose. I'm just worried that my eldest cousin won't give them to you."

Mu Xin Nuan's words drew another burst of laughter, but the atmosphere in the back room was still quite harmonious.

After giving a few instructions, Madam Li asked Mu Qingxuan and Mu Qingyuan to go to the outer courtyard. However, Mu Qingyuan looked up and said, "Mother, we haven't given Grandmother her birthday gift yet."

Li was taken aback, and her words instantly silenced the room. Generally speaking, in large families, the main household would prepare birthday gifts, and it was rare for anyone to prepare a separate gift. Of course, for children like Mu Xin Nuan and the others, it was even rarer for anyone to have such an idea.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyao was secretly delighted. This was exactly what she had done when she first entered, pulling Mu Qingyuan aside and insisting that he say these words. Now, her younger brother hadn't forgotten. That's good! This way, she could finally show her face in front of everyone!

"Oh? You actually prepared birthday gifts?"

Mu Xin Nuan looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent, only lowering her head and glancing at Li Wan Yue.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mu Xinyao knew that they were only concerned with pleasing the young ladies and gentlemen of the mansion, but had not prepared a birthday gift for Madam Li. So she obediently stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, Xinyao made something by hand to celebrate your birthday. Please don't find it offensive."

Madam Li was taken aback. She glanced at Li Shi and saw that Li Shi was also frowning and shaking her head slightly, clearly unaware of the situation. Madam Li was somewhat displeased! She was clearly just a concubine's daughter, yet she came to her stepmother's family and still wanted to show her face?

She was initially displeased, but with so many people in the hall, she couldn't just reply to her directly.

"You've put your heart into this. Then bring it out and let me see what good stuff it is?"

"Yes, Grandma."

When Madam Li had someone open the brocade box, and then took out a square object that looked like brocade, it was slowly unfolded to reveal an embroidery piece that was about three feet long and two feet wide!

"Wow! What kind of embroidery technique is this? It looks quite unique!"

"Yes, this longevity character is really well embroidered! Look at it, it's exquisite!"

"The old lady is so lucky to have such a thoughtful and sensible granddaughter."

Hearing the ladies' praise, Mu Xinyao was naturally pleased. She glanced at the somewhat stunned Mu Xinnuan out of the corner of her eye. See? Even my granddaughter, who isn't your biological daughter, is more filial than you. Mu Xinnuan, I refuse to believe that I can't outdo you this time.

As everyone was praising it, one of the ladies was somewhat surprised, "Huh? Isn't this cross-stitch?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyao was slightly puzzled. Something was wrong; she had asked carefully, and there was no way that cross-stitch existed in this era! How could this be?

"Cross-stitch? What is cross-stitch?"

"Don't you know? These kinds of embroidery shops in the capital are selling like hotcakes these days. Many wealthy families are buying them."

Meanwhile, Li Wanyue muttered with an unpleasant expression, "What is this! Anuan, this is clearly embroidered in the same way as those little trinkets you gave us! I thought she was going to present some kind of treasure!"

One sentence was enough to leave Mu Xinyao completely stunned!
