Madam Fan looked wide-eyed and asked anxiously, "Is it true? Was it really Xiaotan who told me to do this? I figured we had nothing to lose, so I just went along with it. Don't you all think our Xiaotan is clever? I heard the Empress Dowager was extraordinary even as a child. Do you think our Xiaotan might also be..."
The couple was startled, yet secretly filled with anticipation.
Who wouldn't want to live a good life? Who wouldn't want to rise above others? Who wouldn't want their own daughter to be smart, capable, and become an Empress?
"Mother, is this true?"
"True, truer than real gold! The reason I kept quiet before was that I was afraid the Empress Dowager would overthink things.
