"Please have Miss Xiao bring Panpan along, the Empress Dowager is fond of her."
"Yes, please wait a moment, Chunyu will change clothes with the child and come right away."
On usual days, Chunyu, her daughter, Molan and others dressed very plainly, as she was observing mourning for her grandfather, never left the manor, and had little to worry about.
However, entering the palace required attire that wasn't too plain, otherwise she might incur the displeasure of those noble folks and have to swallow the consequences. They already disliked her, and pinning an unfounded accusation was entirely possible.
On the day she was dismissed by the Wu family and left the mansion, she couldn't take any of her dowry or even a change of clothes.
