The Yan Family personally delivered their year-end gifts. The butler did not dare delay and, as soon as they left, hurried to the Qian Residence to inform Master Weng.
Compared to the Qian Family, the Yan Family was naturally more significant.
Master Weng couldn't sit still upon hearing the news and, smiling, excused himself from Lord Qian.
When the butler reported the matter, Lord Qian was nearby to hear it. Upon learning that the Yan Family had sent their year-end gifts to the Weng Family and that it was Madam Yan's trusted nanny who personally delivered them, his smile became even more cordial.
Guests leaving early was somewhat against etiquette, but Lord Qian showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, he repeatedly mentioned that his estate would certainly extend another invitation to the Weng Family for the next opera performance.
