The New Year's gifts sent over before the year filled Susu's private treasury, even occupying the East Wing. Hong Sheng dragged back several chests sent by the Treasure Delivery Officer, but aside from delivering a message, there were still no letters.

But it was about to be New Year, and it was Susu's first year in Hami. Even though the male master was not present, the atmosphere in the mansion was cheerful.
Besides, Susu's pregnancy had passed the three-month mark, and she finally notified the household staff before the New Year, rewarding them with an extra month's salary as customary.
Susu had consistently instructed people to closely monitor news from the Capital, and by New Year's Eve, the news from the Song Family's Dark Department brought Susu a great sense of relief.
