Lady Tang returned from the manor noticeably tanned, and her skin was no longer as tender and well-maintained as before. She appeared rather disheveled, evidently having a hard time at the manor.
Indeed, no matter how you put it, the manor is just a rural place, how can it compare to the General's Mansion!
"Mother, you have no idea, since you've been away from the mansion, Zhizhi has suffered so much. He couldn't even get enough to eat," Zhizhi complained indignantly to Lady Tang.
During this period, Situ Zhi truly realized how tough life is without a mother.
"What nonsense are you talking about, child! Our General's Mansion is both wealthy and abundant; how could we lack food for you?" Lady Tang half-smiled, half-scolded, thinking that Situ Zhi was joking with her.
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhi stopped in his tracks and looked at Lady Tang with a face full of sorrow, saying, "Mother, Zhizhi is really not lying. If you don't believe it, you can ask my sisters."
