In the splendid courtyard, in the inner room.

Cui Liu knelt on the ground and told Wu Niang everything she had learned about the birthday gift she had prepared in the past few days.

The eyes of the girl in the pink silk dress holding the cup couldn't help but light up slightly, and her tone sounded a little excited.

"You mean...she plans to make some sachets to celebrate the birthday of the one in the main courtyard?"

Cui Liu nodded quickly, and saw Ruan Yuxi sneer: "What a country bumpkin who has never seen the world..." They are just a few sachets, how valuable can they be? She is so lucky to afford them!

"Madam, what should I do now?" Cui Liu asked cautiously.

Ruan Yuxi's eyes changed several times, revealing an undisguised malicious intent: "Foolish girl! Isn't it easy to tamper with the sachet? All you have to do is replace the contents of the sachet with a few dead mice on the day of the Madam's birthday banquet."

In this case, the wife will definitely be furious, and Ruan Yuluan, the concubine who rushed to bring bad luck on her birthday, will definitely not have a good ending...

Cui Liu quickly agreed: "Yes, my lady is wise."

Ruan Yuluan worked hard for several nights, and her eyes were almost tired, before she managed to embroider the patterns on both sides of the four sachets.

Qiu Xiu wanted to do it for Dong Yu, but was rejected. The girl shook her head and said, "You can't make any mistakes in such a small matter."

I just waited until the next morning to bring it to my wife at the birthday party.

Perhaps she was tired, so she went to bed very early that night and turned off the lights at 10 p.m.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, a figure in green clothes quietly slipped into the east compartment where the sachet was placed.

The next morning, Ruan Yuluan got up early and washed up. Today was a good day for the lady, so she didn't want to dress plainly as usual so as not to offend her.

The girl wore a soft, light green silk skirt with dark floral patterns, and a light bean green shirt with embroidered floral patterns. Qiu Xiu skillfully tied her black hair into a bun, with a gold hairpin and a light goose yellow silk flower inserted into it. She seldom wore such bright colors, which made her look pure and lively.

"Dong Jun," she said as she was busy dressing up, she didn't forget the sachet, "don't forget to take the sachet."

"Yes." Dong Yu put down the basin of hot water for washing her face and walked out. Seeing Cui Liu following her, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Cui Liu, trim the branches. These days, when Qiu Xiu and I were out on errands, I saw you sneaking into your wife's room. You weren't paying attention to your work all day!"

Cui Liu rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, snorted, and turned and ran away.

She naturally thought that Qiu Xiu came from a prestigious family and should be respected, so how could such a country girl dare to order her around?

She was a well-known maidservant in Jinxiu Courtyard, serving the Fourth Lady.

If he wasn't a confidant, he wouldn't be ordered to do this kind of "undercover" work.

Ruan Yuluan happened to see it from the window and smiled indifferently.

The group entered the main courtyard. It was naturally lively today. The front and back lattice doors of the flower hall were opened and candles were lit. Ruan Yuluan glanced around casually. All around were various rare and precious furnishings, which must have been taken out from the wife's storeroom.

Ji was naturally wearing a purple satin skirt with dark patterns today, and a red sandalwood silk shirt on top. The satin material was excellent, smooth and moist. It made her look even more noble, and she sat at the top, like a person in a painting.

All six sisters were present at once, even the second lady, who had been sick and avoided people for years, came out, but she still looked sickly.

The six people bowed together, their voices gentle and respectful: "Happy birthday, Madam. May Madam have long life, wealth and great blessings!"

Then they stood up and it was time for everyone to present their gifts.

Offer them in order of age.
