It was late afternoon by the time Xiqiu finally saw the First Master. She brought the two children to offer him birthday congratulations. The First Master was in high spirits and nodded again and again, but when he saw Min his expression still couldn't help but stiffen, especially when Min called out a clear "Grandfather." Xiqiu clearly saw the corner of the First Master's mouth twitch several times.
She quickly lowered her head, hiding away her smile. When she raised it again she saw Tong Shen Zhi looking at her with a probing gaze. She immediately straightened her expression and handed over the congratulatory gifts sent by Xiao Yanyi and the Grand Dowager to the First Master.
