Lotus's mother is her own wet nurse.
That is, the person who followed her on her escape, but in the end sent her to the army camp for twenty taels of silver.
Seeing that Gu Jiangli was deep in thought, Hehua hurriedly spoke up again:
"Madam, I know that my mother has done things to hurt you, and I never expected you to forgive her."
"I just... kept thinking about her whereabouts."
"Logically speaking, she had received silver from the military camp and was capable of coming to the capital."
"But after so long, I still haven't seen her."
“I think… if she were still alive, I would definitely question her about her reasons for doing these things. If she has something she can’t say, I would make her explain it to you and apologize to you.”
"If she is already dead, I will build her a tomb, as a way of fulfilling my filial duty as a daughter..."
"I haven't mentioned this to you because you're about to give birth, and I didn't want you to worry about these things. I was thinking of talking about it after you gave birth to the little prince."
The lotus flower looked sorrowful.

"Lotus, if after we find the wet nurse she says she has no secrets and only sold me for money, what will you do?"
Lotus's face suddenly turned pale, and she lowered her head.
After a long while, she got up from the chair, knelt down in front of Gu Jiangli, and said in a hoarse voice, "If that is really the case... Madam, you won't need to lift a finger, I will punish her myself."
Gu Jiangli felt a pang of sympathy.
Lotus flowers are straightforward and stubborn, yet they are also very loyal.
She is truly capable of turning down family for the greater good.
Gu Jiangli stretched out his hand, "Get up, Lotus."
Just as her hand touched Lotus's arm, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her stomach, and she tightened her grip on Lotus's arm.
Lotus immediately sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong, Madam?"
Gu Jiangli frowned. "I think I'm about to give birth."
