After he left, Xiao Wan saw Zhu Jiayu staring at his back and explained, "I didn't tell you, did I? Ning Lang originally had a younger sister named Dan'er, which means peace and happiness. However, when her mother-in-law was pregnant with her, things were not peaceful in the inner quarters, so much so that she almost lost both herself and her baby during childbirth. She risked her life to give birth to the child, but she was physically exhausted, and the child was weak and sickly from a young age."
