Listening to this, Lady Du couldn't help but think back to her own tragic appearance when she fled in haste. The scene, even now, still made her heart palpitate with dread, and she shed a few tears alongside Madam Wang.
Madam Wang said: "That tiresome man died less than two months after you left. It was fortunate my son had the idea to run away, otherwise, we would still be stuck in that appalling Royal Palace, and who knows how agitated we would be!"
Lady Du wept for a while, wiped away her tears, and looking at the people beneath her, asked, "Mother, it seems like someone is missing?"
Madam Wang replied, "Are you asking about Auntie Mei?"
Lady Du nodded and said, "I haven't seen Auntie Mei for a long time. I heard her health is very poor, and I am quite worried about her. I hope Mother can understand and let me go see her."
