Mrs. Zhou looked up and asked Nanny Su to call Du Yunluo over.
"Lian Xiao won't be back at noon, so you'll come with me to Baijie Hall," Mrs. Zhou said as she stood up and walked out. "Today is the nineteenth of February, Old Madam should have been chanting scriptures all morning."

Banqiao led them over.
Du Yunluo glanced around the courtyard and happened to see Lady An's figure.
Lady An served beside Mu Yuanjing, and her name as a maid was Qiu Rou.
Back then, when Mu Yuanjing married far away to the Liu family in Shu, Qiu Rou went as her dowry maid and stayed with Mu Yuanjing.
It's said that Qiu Rou married someone while in Shu, but after her husband passed away and with no one left in the husband's family, she returned with Mu Yuanjing when she came back to the capital.
