Jiang Nanzhen looked curiously at Lady Zhou. "Mother, who killed my great-aunt?"
Lady Zhou shook her head. "Actually, your mother doesn't know the full details either. I only know that the present Qixia Palace was founded by your great-aunt specifically to be passed down to your aunt in the future. After your great-aunt passed away, it was managed by her subordinates—who are the current Palace Master and elders of Qixia Palace. Now that your aunt has been found, Qixia Palace must have received word after all this time. Who knows if they will actually return Qixia Palace to your aunt? Even if they did, it would be a handful to manage; after all, so many years have passed, and the people in Qixia Palace have long since become the Palace Master's people. Taking it over now would just mean inheriting a mess."
Jiang Nanzhen looked at Lady Zhou in surprise. "Qixia Palace was actually founded by great-aunt? If aunt has been recognized for so long, surely Qixia Palace shouldn't be without news by now. How is it that no one has come forward to acknowledge aunt?"
