The pillow placed obliquely on the Taishi chair that Lian Yunxi often sat on was still the same as before, as if Yunxi had just left for a while.

Tears couldn't help but fill their eyes again. Pei Xiaoqing took a deep breath and heard the crisp sound of something falling to the ground. Pei Xiaoqing turned her head and saw Madam Zhou looking at her in shock, with tears in her old eyes.

He walked a few quick steps towards her, then knelt down again, and bowed:

"Second grandma, poor second grandma, why are you... you come back?"

Madam Zhou has lost a lot of weight and has grown a lot of older, but it’s only a few months old, as if she’s aged a few years old. She is Yunxi’s wet nurse. Yunxi grew up eating her breasts and is like a mother and son with Yunxi. Pei Xiaoqing knew that Madam Zhou’s grief was no less than that of herself, so she hurried over to support Madam Zhou and said:

"Madam, the ground is cold, get up quickly. You are Xiaoqing's elder. Is it a big gift to make Xiaoqing's birthday?"

When Madam Zhou heard the word "Zheshou" and jumped up like a spring, she held Pei Xiaoqing's hand tightly and said, "Second grandma, you are the one who has the same family as me. Only Second grandma, you can respect me..."

"Don't want me, you know that I don't care about these stupid etiquettes. When Yun Xi was alive, he respected you the most. Just think I am your daughter. But why did you go back to Prince Ning's Mansion and live a good life in the mansion?"

Madam Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Second Master is gone, Second Grandma, you suddenly disappeared again. I feel like I have no soul. I lived in Chu's house for a long time. Later, Concubine Gu said that the house is also the property of the Ning Prince's Mansion. He said that the second master was the son of Ning Prince. He was gone, and the property returned to Ning Prince's Mansion with ease. Therefore, even the few servants were called back to Ning Prince's Mansion."

Is it Gu Fangxian again? Pei Xiaoqing lowered her eyes and saw that Aunt Zhou's hands were very rough, and some places had cracks. Winter had long passed, and her skin was moisturized in spring, but her hands were as if they were frozen in the cold winter. Her heart felt sad. Aunt Zhou was the most capable person in Ziyuan and now she has become a slave without a master. How could Gu Fangxian miss the opportunity to torture her? She must have thought of a good prescription and not allowed Aunt Zhou to have a better life.

I just saw that Qinghuai was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which was even more shabby than when he was at the Pei family. This is the royal mansion. The lowest servant in the mansion is also better than the girl and young master outside. How could there be coarse cloth clothes?

Are you deliberately making things difficult for them and torture them?

"Madam, where did you come from?"

"I... just came from the backyard..." Madam Zhou seemed not to want Pei Xiaoqing to be sad. She whispered. Pei Xiaoqing grabbed her hand and spread it out and said, "What errand is Gu asking you to do now? Why are your hands so rough?"

Madam Zhou shrank her hands hard and said, "It's nothing. Madam is a slave anyway. I haven't done anything. Oh, second grandma, where have you been there in the past few months? Why did you come back with the prince?"
