Long Linger held onto the door frame, looking a bit awkward, because instead of Lin Zhi, there stood an unfamiliar elderly woman outside. Although she was quite aged, she still appeared beautiful. Her attire exuded the colors of a foreign land, and her smile was kind and generous, accompanied by a maid behind her.
"Sorry, I thought you were someone else just now. Auntie, whom are you looking for?"
The elderly woman stepped forward with a smile, "My name is Su Shan. I am Ah Bu… Lin Zhi's mother."
"Uh, hello!"
This Su Shan looked very familiar, quite approachable, without any airs.
Long Linger hesitated for a moment, "Are you the princess consort?"
It seemed off; with this Imperial Palace being so lavish, the princess consort should be dressed extremely grandly. Yet the elderly woman before her, although somewhat noble and beautiful, dressed quite plainly, without any jewelry. On closer inspection, her eye wrinkles revealed deep sorrow.
