"I watched you grow up, you know. In my heart, you'll always come first."
Huang Shi Yao suppressed a smile and wheedled, shaking her arm. "Then after we bring Song Kexin back, Aunt Meng, you have to treat Kexin well. You can't scare her off again, okay?"
Meng Lanfang patted the back of her hand. "Alright, I promise."
A triumphant glint flashed in Huang Shi Yao's eyes. Lowering her gaze slightly, she walked over to a table and picked up a thumb-sized vial. "Aunt Meng, this is a compliance potion. I know you're desperate to have your daughter back, but Kexin keeps trusting the wrong people and won't listen to you."
"I'm genuinely worried for you."
"Find a way to add this potion to her food or drink, and everything will go just as you wish."
Meng Lanfang froze. She took the small vial of red liquid, her eyes flickering with hesitation.
