Guh Xiuxiu chatted non-stop with He Mingzhu, reminiscing about their childhood. As the conversation progressed, He Mingzhu's eyes grew moist.
After chatting for quite some time, Guh Xiuxiu seemed tired. He Mingzhu helped her upstairs and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving.
Aunt Mei watched her drive away before turning to go back upstairs. Locking the door behind her, she whispered, "Old lady, the young miss has left."
Only then did Guh Xiuxiu open her eyes, however, she didn't get up, but in a very low voice said, "Mingzhu's sudden visit this time must mean He Zhuliang has become suspicious of me. He is a distrustful man, and even if Mingzhu says my mind is unclear, he won't fully believe it; he will have someone test me."
Aunt Mei, having served by Guh Xiuxiu's side for many years, naturally understood the He family well, "Old lady, what should we do next?"
