"Baoju brought news last time, saying that Qianqian was doing well in the palace, how could it be otherwise!"
The Baoju mentioned by Mrs. Dong is Nanny Fan, the Chief of the satin warehouse in the Inner Court Department.
Now that she's in the palace, she naturally wouldn't know about matters at the traveling palace.
So it's normal for there to be some discrepancies in the information.
Old Master Dong helped his wife sit down, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, quickly handed a cup of warm water over.
As she helped soothe, she said.
"Mother, don't upset yourself. We can talk things over slowly."
Mrs. Dong also nodded in agreement, holding onto Mrs. Dong's hand and comforting her.
