It took some time before Little Star calmed down and let Zhang Jiren leave. Feng Tianyi took the chance to placate his daughter while Xiao Bao accompanied the two of them.
Tang Moyu sighed and rubbed her temple as she and Li Meili stepped outside the mansion to get some air and allow Feng Tianyi some privacy to talk with their children.
"I didn't know Little Star had been thinking this way. I should have known better." The empress muttered, disappointed that she didn't catch on earlier. If Zhang Jiren hadn't shown up today, she and Feng Tianyi wouldn't know that their daughter was harboring such thoughts since Tang Beixuan's passing.
"It wasn't easy for us." Li Meili nodded. "It's natural that she would be afraid of being left behind by those she held dearly in her heart."
