When a younger family member's friend comes to visit, it's only proper for them to meet the elders of the household.
Duchess An actually didn't know much about Second Miss Zhou, but after listening to Ye Xinyan's introduction, she learned that Second Miss Zhou was the daughter of the former Prefect of Yuyuan Prefecture, who had returned to the capital with her father to report on his official duties, so her family's social status was not low.
Furthermore, this young lady was the only close friend of her granddaughter, who had been a cause of her headaches for twenty years. Therefore, Duchess An was very enthusiastic toward Zhou Biyao.
After the warm greetings, Duchess An had Nanny Qian bring out a long, narrow rosewood box containing a dazzling gold Step Shake encrusted with red and blue gems.
Having given the Gem-encrusted Gold Step Shake to Zhou Biyao as a meeting gift, Ye Xinyan then led her out to leave.
