Gu Youyou said earnestly, "My words are sincere."
Lin Qianqing: "..." There was no way to have a pleasant time anymore.
Madam Lin had prepared the most beautiful clothes, the most exquisite jewelry, and some pieces of silver for Lin Qianqing to take along so that she could conveniently tip the servants.
She repeatedly instructed that after entering the palace, Lin Qianqing must keep her temper in check and seek the Empress if any issue arose. Before the selection, she should avoid conflicts with other families, and so on. After speaking for nearly half an hour, she finally let her get on the carriage and enter the palace with the wet nurses and eunuchs who had come from the palace.
Gu Youyou stood behind Madam Lin and saw her watching the carriage disappear from sight before she shed a face full of tears.
Lin Qianqing was her only daughter, and naturally, Madam Lin hoped that she could live happily according to her own wishes, but alas, many decisions were not hers to make.
