897 General’s Gift


A wave of anger rushed through her Qin Man as she yelled, “I have brought the General’s birthday present. Mom, look at this!”


Everyone immediately turned to her.


All eyes were on Qin Man as she walked down the hallway. Her head was tilted high up, and her eyes glistened under the artificial lights.


She raised the box even higher so that everyone could see the delicate mahogany in her hands.

!!

As expected, when everyone saw the meticulously carved box, they all gasped in admiration. Some even had the nerve to come a bit closer to guess what was hidden inside.


Their gifts were truly one of a kind.


Old Madam Yao had been looking at another gift that had been given to her when Qin Man walked in. As soon as she heard the word, “General”, she quickly placed her gift back on a try.


Yao Rong and Jiang Wan shared a surprised looks.


Could it be that child?


The old woman leaned forward in antic.i.p.ation.


Under everyone’s watchful gaze, she gingerly placed the box on Old Madam Yao’s table, waiting for it to be opened.


The old woman quickly reached out, letting her fingers trail across the clearly carved mahogany. Worry flashed across her eyes. “So considerate,” she murmured. “I wonder how he’s doing…”


She looked back to the time she had last seen him, which was around a year ago!


He had always visited her every year, but he hadn’t been able to come by this year.


How worrisome!


“Mom, what?” Qin Man blinked.


Old Madam Yao simply shook her head in reply.


Yao Rong placed a hand on her shoulder.


“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m sure the brat’s fine. You know how he is, right? You’d have to worry about the people around me more than you have to worry about him.”


A gentle smile flashed across his face. The kid had always been quite a handful when he had been with them, but he sure did miss him from time to time.


He was proud of what the kid had accomplished.


“What kind of comfort was that?” Jiang Wan nudged her husband.


What ridiculous logic!


Even then, a smile still appeared on Old Madam Yao’s face. “He really is too kind,” she said fondly. “Even if he couldn’t make it, he still managed to send me a gift. Please take it away.”


The attendant nodded as he was about to take them away.


Qin Man frowned.


The General hadn’t been able to come himself, so she didn’t know whether or not he was really a “general”.


Not only that, but she had even called him out by his t.i.tle.


If she allowed the gift to be taken now, how could she regain her face?


The mere thought of being ridiculed and accused of lying made Qin Man even more irritated. Her fingernails dug into her palm. As long as she could open the gift, everyone would know that they were connected with the military!


That way, they could solidify their place in society.


Her jaw clenched.


“Mom, it’s a gift from the General. Why don’t we open it right now?” She asked.


The smile on her face was sincere as if she only wanted to see the gift.


However, Old Madam Yao knew what her daughter-in-law was thinking. She obviously wanted to show off the General’s gift as hers when she saw her sister-in-law getting all the limelight.


Her eyes narrowed.


“I don’t care about his gift, only his intentions.”


With that, the attendants quickly moved to take the gift.


“Thank you,” Old Madam Yao said.


However, Qin Man just wouldn’t agree.


She couldn’t let the gift be taken just like that!


Her plans!


Thinking of this, Qin Man hardened her heart and s.n.a.t.c.hed the gift from the servant’s hands. She quickly opened the gift box, her eyes bright in antic.i.p.ation.


As she was the first lady of the Yao Family, the attendant didn’t dare take it away from her.


Old Madam Yao’s face contorted into a sneer.


How lawless!
