Brother Cheng's eyes flickered, he nodded heavily and said, "I can. Whatever foster father asks, I will answer; I will hide nothing."
Gu Jinghui then asked, "Did you see your mother before she left the mansion? Or did she leave any messages for you? About the matter of the princess entering the mansion... who did you hear anything from?"
After asking, he stared unblinkingly at the two children.
Brother Cheng lowered his brows and tightened his fists, his cheeks bulging with a tense bite.
Sister Yu softly sobbed, occasionally calling out for her mother, as if saddened by the mention of Lady Zhao, crying alone.
"No, we haven't seen our mother," Brother Cheng said after a while, then eagerly asked Sister Yu, "Isn't it right? Tell foster father it's just as I said."
