The original owner not only shared her same name and surname, but even their birthdays were on the same day; it had to be said that this was destiny.

Following that, the Yang family and the Wu, Liu, and Shen families each presented Mengchen with a birthday gift. The items were not expensive, but the thoughtfulness of everyone moved Mengchen deeply, as a faint layer of mist formed in her eyes, and her heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.

The families of Xiao and Luo, along with the guests, naturally didn't fall behind.

Uncle Heng and Qiao Niangzi, on behalf of all the servants, gave Mengchen a Picture of Longevity. Each "longevity" character varied in size and thickness, clearly handwritten by the servants themselves.

Apart from Uncle Heng's family and Qiao Niangzi, none of the other servants could read or write before. Once they came to the Yang family, Mengchen had them practice literacy and martial arts with the villagers every night.

The servants were deeply grateful to Mengchen, so when they learned a few days ago that her birthday was coming, they discussed giving her a birthday gift but didn't know what would be appropriate.

In the end, Uncle Heng suggested that each person handwrite a longevity character to compile a Picture of Longevity. First, the gift would be humble yet meaningful, and second, if they really presented a valuable gift, not to mention that they couldn't afford it, Mengchen, with her kind and pure nature, would definitely not be pleased.

Everyone found his idea sensible, so they practiced writing the character "longevity" every day, taking extra care when it was their turn, pouring all their heartfelt gratitude into each stroke.

"We wish Miss a happy birthday and may everything go your way!" led by Uncle Heng and Qiao Niangzi, they bowed to Mengchen, who had done away with the kneeling ceremony from the very beginning.

"Thank you all, I really like this gift!" Mengchen took the gift with a smile, "Bai He, remember to hang it in my study later."

Bai He promptly responded with reverence, "Yes, Miss!"

Long Yingtong presented a clumsily stitched purse to Mengchen, her cherry red lips parting and closing several times, and after a long struggle, she managed to say, "Sis…ter…embroidered…joy..." Sister Mengchen, this is a purse I embroidered myself, wishing you a happy birthday!

The voice was raspier and more unpleasant than a crow's call, but to everyone present, it was like music from heaven, as they all looked at Long Yingtong with wide eyes, both shocked and overjoyed.

"Yingtong, what did you just call me?" Mengchen asked, her voice trembling with intense excitement.

Most of the poison in Long Yingtong's body had been cured, and Mengchen had been teaching her to speak. Long Yingtong had never spoken before, and it was unexpected that today she would surprise her. How could she not be thrilled?

Opening her mouth again, Long Yingtong struggled to speak, "Sis, sis…"

"Our Yingtong can speak!" Wrapping her arms around Yingtong, Mengchen's joy was evident, "Our Yingtong can speak! This is truly wonderful!"

Snuggled in Sister Mengchen's warm embrace, feeling her sister's joy, Yingtong was full of gratitude and happiness.

Witnessing the deep sisterly love between Mengchen and Yingtong, everyone wore happy smiles, with tears of joy brimming in their eyes.

"Yingtong!"

To celebrate Mengchen's birthday, Long Xuanmo arranged his official duties in a hurry and came galloping, only to step into the inner yard and hear the Sixth Imperial Sister addressing Mengchen as 'sister,' causing his steps to falter.

Those who came with Long Xuanmo also showed surprise: the Sixth Princess could speak!

The crowd quickly approached to pay their respects.

Long Xuanmo waved his hand, his dark eyes fixing on his sister.

Upon hearing Long Xuanmo's voice, Long Yingtong peeked out from Mengchen's embrace, her delicate and stunning face lighting up with a sweet smile, "Third brother, good!"

"Hmm," Long Xuanmo nodded and responded softly, his reserved and cold features easing slightly, like a modest warm sun on a chilly spring day. Then, he gazed deeply at Mengchen with eyes as brilliant as the sun, moon, and stars, his tender affections clear for all to see, "Ah Jiu, thank you!"
