Yu An's hand trembled, and some tea spilled from the cup she was holding.
She set the cup down, took the handkerchief Mo Yan offered her, and asked while wiping her hands, "Tell me everything."
Her question was directed at Zhou Dayong and his group. Seeing her interest, Zhou Dayong nudged Xiao Quan.
Xiao Quan summoned his courage and stammered slightly, "Yes, Brother Dayong is right. My Female Mother did indeed serve the First Prince."
"When I was very young, my Female Mother suddenly came home. Without even packing her bags, she grabbed me and ran. But we were caught before we could even leave the Imperial City."
"I only found out later that the First Prince had disappeared that day. The Beast Emperor took the throne and began purging the previous regime's remnants. My Female Mother was among them."
