Mother 91 (Second Update)

Marquis Gu had been waiting outside the door for quite a long time – long enough to nearly fall asleep when Madame Yao finally emerged.

The tears on Madame Yao's face were clearly visible; her eyes were red and swollen, an indication of heavy weeping.

Marquis Gu hurriedly took a step forward and supported her by her shoulders. "Madam!"

Madame Yao nodded, held back her tears, and turned to look at the elderly lady in the backyard. She respectfully bowed, "Madam, I am departing now. I entrust Jiaojiao to your care."

Madame Yao had never entered the palace and naturally did not recognize the elderly lady. Yet she already knew before arriving that the matriarch of the Xiao Liulang household treated Jiaojiao very well.

The elderly lady gave her a peculiar glance and remained silent.

Madame Yao asked Marquis Gu to retrieve the pastries she had forgotten in the carriage and personally handed them to the elderly lady, "I made these myself. I'm not sure if they will suit your taste."
