Xiqiu listened with a smile from the side. As a new bride, if the Grand Dowager didn't introduce her, it would be inappropriate for her to go up and greet everyone. Suddenly, someone brushed her sleeve, and Xiqiu turned to see Madam Shen waving at her with an unfamiliar lady beside her.
Xiqiu's gaze shifted as she noticed the Grand Dowager and the Second Madam happily conversing with several other ladies. She whispered a word to the First Madam's ear as a greeting and then walked over with a smile. Madam Shen, who was newly pregnant, didn't show yet, appearing somewhat plump. She smiled and said, "I've been looking for you. I said you should visit me, but you never did. I've been waiting at home every day."
