On the day Mingzhu and Wanyan Chao returned home, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi returned from the north. Although Nangong Yi had no feelings for Emperor Jin Ming, after all, it was her biological father who passed away, so her mood was somewhat heavy, and the return banquet was organized casually without much fanfare.
On the same day, Mu Caifei, Mu Caidie, and Lady Yuwen also entered the palace to attend the feast. Chong Wu's wife, Lady Zhang, was pregnant and unable to leave the house, so she did not attend.
Cai Wei noticed that Lady Du was not present and asked, "Why didn't Mother come?"
Lady Yuwen replied, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, Mother-in-law has been busy these past two days taking care of Lady Dong's son, so she could not spare the time to attend the banquet."
Cai Wei was surprised and said, "I remember Lady Dong was supposed to give birth at the end of the month. How did she have the baby so quickly?"
