Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Women of the Eunuch
“Ah, what happened back then?” Su Yan immediately followed up with her question.
Aunt Lan glanced at her and smiled,
“That’s all very long ago and there’s no need to bring it up in front of you younger ones.
However, your aunt was truly kind to me, like real sisters.
She was the kindest person to me in this world…”
Su Yan, seeing she could not pry more information, chose not to inquire further.
...
But her instincts told her that Aunt Lan also had a story, and it was largely related to Old Madam.
What kind of person was Old Madam, exactly?
Old Marquis cherished her, Aunt Lan was ever mindful of her, and Chu Yuxiao missed her deeply…
Without a doubt, she must have been a beautiful and kind woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left such a lasting impression in people’s hearts.
After coming out from Aunt Lan’s place, Su Yan encountered Chu Yuxiao, who had just returned.
Seeing him, she approached and said,
“Marquis, are you busy now? I have something I’d like to ask you.”
Chu Yuxiao gave her a brief glance and continued on toward his room, with Su Yan closely following behind.
Once in the room, he sat down at the table, picked up his teacup, and after taking a sip, said,
“What is it? Go ahead.”
“I just had a meal with Aunt Lan, and I noticed she’s in poor health.
I wanted to take her pulse, but she seemed completely indifferent to her own life and death, saying she wanted to join grandma sooner…”
At this point, she glanced at Chu Yuxiao and saw a flicker in his eyes, she continued,
“I spoke with her a bit more, and it’s clear that she had a good relationship with Grandma.
I just can’t understand why Aunt Lan, who was also Grandpa’s woman, would like Grandma so much.”
Chu Yuxiao gave her a faint glance, his dark eyes flashing with depth.
Su Yan felt a sudden unease but smiled and said,
“I don’t mean anything by it, I just find it strange…”
Isn’t it though?

For a concubine to get along poorly with her husband, yet be on good terms with his wife, it was naturally a curiosity.
After a moment of silence, Chu Yuxiao spoke indifferently,
“Aunt Lan, though nominally my father’s concubine, was actually my mother’s maid.”
