Zuo Xiangning and Lingxiao parted on bad terms, and then she fell ill.
She lay in bed for three days.
By the time she got out of bed, she noticed that the trees in the courtyard had actually begun to sprout.
Two days later, Auntie Liu died in the Ruyi Courtyard.
Zuo Ziteng and Zuo Xiangyu held a private mourning for Auntie Liu, which Madame Jiang pretended not to know about.
Zuo Xiangning also pretended not to know.
"Miss, Zhang Cheng is here," Pan Cui said in a low voice, "He says he has something to discuss with you and is waiting outside the door."
"Let him in," Zuo Xiangning instructed Pan Cui and Pan Xia to wait outside the door.
"The child has been found," Zhang Cheng said anxiously, "It seems they were sold to a family surnamed Qian in Cangzhou."
