Accompanying Xiang and her son this time were two other concubines from the Ling family and several illegitimate sons and daughters.
After the collapse of the previous dynasty, Ling's father died of illness, and the Ling family collapsed like a building. To avoid the war, the whole family fled to their hometown in Tongguan. Along the way, their property was looted by bandits and soldiers during the war, leaving behind several empty houses in their hometown. The servants also dispersed one after another.

Xiang Shi, her face tense, looked at Ling Qingxue and said coldly, "Now that you have gained the Prince's favor, you must work even harder in the future and never bring shame to the Ling family."
