"Madam, Young Master Shang has sent someone over with a gift." Chun Fen walked in holding a list of presents to report.
Song Ci put down the rattle in her hand, stopping the nanny's attempt to carry Dan off. "Just let him lie here, looking at a list won't take much effort."
Madam Deng responded with a smile, standing aside and watching the child.
Song Ci took the gift list that Chun Fen handed over and asked, "Who came?"
Chun Fen replied, "It's a maid, said to be Mrs. Shang's steward. She's having tea in the gatehouse now."
The Song Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, not everyone is qualified to enter or see the masters within the second gate, especially not someone from mere merchant family lineage. Let's not mention that it's just a steward maid who came; even if Shang Mei Niang herself had come, she might not have been allowed past the second gate.
