Tears welled up in Qingzhi’s eyes, eventually spilling over and dripping down her chin. Fearing that she might distress her mistress, she nodded repeatedly, murmuring in agreement while quickly bowing her head to wipe away the tears.
Jiang Wumei curled her lips into a smile, gently patting the back of her hand with an intimate tone. "You’ve had a hard time lately. Has An’er been good? Has he been fussy?"
Qingzhi shook her head hurriedly. "No, the little master has been very sensible and hasn't been fussy at all. It’s just that while you were missing, little master kept insisting on finding you. I had no choice but to keep it from him, telling him you were busy. He spent every day hoping for your return. Today, when you entered the palace with The Emperor, he heard one of the attending palace maids let it slip, which is why he cried and insisted on coming to find you. But please rest assured, I have already comforted him. He is asleep now, and I will bring him to see you tomorrow."
