Zhao Shu was grateful to the old servant.

"Granny, are you bringing me food?" She went over herself to take the food box, leaving Granny Guo standing aside.

Granny Guo was taken aback, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes, and she stood awkwardly to the side.

Granny Zhuang was overjoyed, not expecting Zhao Shu to speak to her so kindly. She no longer paid any attention to Granny Guo's sarcastic remarks and hurriedly pushed Zhao Shu's hand back. She picked up the food box and said, "It's very hot today, so I made some soup to cool you down, Princess."

“That’s good. Come with me to see Father. He looks gloomy today. I think he’ll feel better after eating your soup.”

She walked out while talking, completely ignoring Granny Guo.

Granny Guo wanted to say something, but recalling Zhao Shu's attitude before and after, fear rose in her heart.

The princess is not as easily swayed as before.

Her hesitation allowed Zhao Shu and Granny Zhuang to disappear through the moon gate. She wanted to chase after them, but she felt indignant, as she was usually more like a mistress than the other concubines in the mansion.

'Hmph, the princess still can't live without me. Once she gets tired of that old geezer, she'll naturally come back. I can't let the princess think I'm too easy to control.' With this thought in mind, Granny Guo turned around and went back to her room.

Granny Zhuang followed behind Zhao Shu, feeling both sad and touched, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Granny, do you know why Father doesn’t live in the main courtyard? Chensong Courtyard is too remote,” Zhao Shuyang said casually.

Granny Zhuang's hand holding the food box froze, her fingers seemed to suddenly lose strength, and she almost couldn't hold the handle.
