It’s Qi’s mother.
She hugged the soaked Qi Che and cried, "Son, why are you doing this? When you kindly saved the princess, I told you not to be dazzled by the beauty in front of you, but you didn't believe me and sold everything you had to cure the princess.

"Ha! Interesting."
On the side, Xie Yunqi sneered lightly. Then he turned to Qi Che and asked:
