"No matter what, I think the Xiao family is going to rise."
"Why don't I see Xiao Yu's mother?"
"I don't know. But I heard yesterday... really, I heard crying."
"Why are you crying? Her son is an official, and she's crying at home. If her parents were alive, they would definitely give her a beating."
"That's right. With her temper, she acts as if everyone knows her. She's too obsessed with face to suffer in vain. In the past, many people wanted Xiao Yu's father to become an official, but she stopped them, saying that everyone in the court should be an official."

She lingered on his question anxiously.
She couldn't bear to abandon her son, but was also tormented by his existence.

"Let me do it." Zhou Yanzhi stood behind him without knowing when, "You go to the next room for a while."
Xiao Yu looked at Zhou Yanzhi, then at his mother, who was looking down in the room, and then he went to his brother's room next door. He opened and closed the door in one go.
After Xiao Yu closed the door on the other side, Zhou Yanzhi took two steps forward, walked into Xiao Yu's bedroom, and closed the door casually.
