Xiao Yan stepped forward to support the old madam, carefully placing a soft pillow behind her back, and said, "I don't know, madam."
The old madam let out a sigh, "Alas! That child is so disobedient, always likes to roam around. I'm getting old, and can't manage him anymore."
Xiao Yan hesitated, "Old madam...!"
