After a long time, in Princess Consort Niu's study.
Zimo and Lin Caisang were both seated, while Princess Consort Niu held Baiqing directly in her arms, the mother and son sharing a stool.
"My benefactors, I truly cannot thank you enough this time. Without you, who knows what suffering my Baiqing would have endured?" she said, her eyes reddening as she gazed at Zimo and Lin Caisang.
She had just listened to Lin Caisang recount how they had found her son.
Had she not heard from them, she would never have imagined that Eighth Prince Yin Lvqing, who was so close to her husband as a brother, was the one who had kidnapped her son and hid Baiqing away in the wastelands.
Baiqing was his nephew, how could he commit such a cruel act?
Or was Yin Lvqing cruel by nature?
It seemed likely the latter was true.
So, had Yin Lvqing's always peaceful and brotherly demeanor been a facade?
This was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing, truly terrifying.
