The room returned to silence.
Gu Nuo'er wasn't in a hurry to speak.
The old woman maintained her bowing posture.
The windows in the room were small and the light wasn't bright.
Light landed on Gu Nuo'er's soft and fair face, adding a hint of darkness to the child.
Her watery eyes were bright and intelligent.
Gu Nuo'er sat upright on a small stool. Her small back was straight and she looked elegant.
"Grandmother, you recognize me, right?" The child said softly.
There was no reproach or interrogation in her voice, but it made the old woman tremble.
The old woman lowered her head deeply.
"This commoner…"
She seemed to be considering how to answer.
However, Gu Nuo'er didn't give her a chance to argue.
