The family of three made their way toward Empress Dowager Gu's quarters.
Before they even entered the palace, they heard voices from within.
Mei Wanying frowned slightly, her eyes thoughtful. That woman's voice sounded familiar, as if she'd heard it somewhere before.
Ling had a good memory. Cradled in Pei Yan's arms, she leaned close to Mei Wanying's ear. "Mama, it's the people from our cousin's family..."
Her little face wrinkled in concentration. She didn't know what to call the person, as she was confused by the family hierarchy and didn't know their name.
Then it clicked for Mei Wanying.
It was Lin Jixue.
The candidate the Gu Family had chosen to be Gu Xun's principal wife.
Empress Dowager Gu was a Gu by birth, so it was hardly a rare occurrence for them to come to the palace and pay their respects to Her Majesty.
