"The cook, Xiangling, is kneeling outside the room right now. Do you want me to come in?"
"Bring her in." In the past, Shen Yuyao rarely saw the cook and other servants. When she heard that Xiangling had come to surrender on her own initiative, she became curious.
"Baizhi, let her in."
The door curtain was lifted, and a man walked in, with his head lowered but his back straight. When he saw Shen Yuyao, he knelt down!
"Princess, your servant Xiangling greets you. May your Highness live long and happily." Her voice was sweet and seductive, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Tell me, why did you kneel down in front of my house and apologize?"

"I am the daughter of the criminal Ling Qian, my maiden name is Ling Xiangxiang. Two years ago, my father was convicted and exiled, and all the women in my family were enslaved in various mansions. Because I have loved cooking since I was a child, I became a cook in Prince Ning's mansion."
Ling Qian? Shen Yuyao remembered that before she married, she had heard the Duke and her brothers mention this man, a loyal minister, who had lived a life of integrity, only to be framed by treacherous officials and eventually exiled. Speaking of this man, the Duke sighed deeply.
[Change? No idea! Ling Xiangxiang? Wow! If I remember correctly, she became a royal concubine and was buried in the imperial mausoleum!]
[He was also the last person to go to the mass grave to collect his mother's remains!]
