Lady Chiang then took out two pastry boxes from another bundle and also pulled out four lengths of fabric, saying that they were prepared for Shouxin's family and Shouli's family, one share each.
"...This was prepared by the old madam," Lady Chiang said.
Lian Manman glanced at the items. The two pastry boxes looked quite nice; she wondered what kind of pastries were inside. The four lengths of fabric were decent, a step above what was gifted to her family last time when they held the furnace ritual.
Lady Chiang mentioned that it was prepared by Lady Zhou, so there was no room for criticism, only gratitude.
Though Taicang had brought gifts, Lady Zhang was not pleased.
