Let’s guess the lantern market together, go to poetry parties together, and taste tea together... This brand is the thing he gave me to love."

Concubine Yu's face was shy that only her little daughter could be, just like she was back when she was ignorant when she was young. Her eyes were gentle, her eyes were charming, and there was a smile on her lips. Although her temples were gray, she was dazzlingly beautiful at this time, like an elegant magnolia tree.

Pei Xiaoqing listened quietly without disturbing Concubine Yu's memories.

"Unfortunately, we had some misunderstandings due to the intervening of villains. My father also disagreed with our marriage. Later, I was forced to enter the palace, and he... he was framed and lived and died in the hands of his own relatives. Later, the Shangguan family was destroyed and almost killed, and your mother became the only surviving bloodline of the Shangguan family..."

"No one knows that the token representing the fourth shopkeeper of Qilintang will be in my hands..."

After hearing this, Pei Xiaoqing connected many things together.

She had never understood why Concubine Yu wanted to leave the palace and follow King Ning, and asked King Ning to take care of her old age. Now she thought it through. It turned out that Concubine Yu was not Ning, but the princess should be the princess. I think that Concubine Yu loved the prince of the Shangguan family very much, so after the death of the previous emperor, she would rather move out of the palace and guard the last little bloodline of the Shangguan family.

Finally, I understood why when the princess wanted to move out with him and Yunxi, Concubine Yu also quarreled to move out, but Prince Ning refused no matter what.

"Does your father know that you have the Qilin card in your hand?" Pei Xiaoqing asked.

"How could I let the people of the Chu family know?" Concubine Yu said with resentment.

"Then have you, the fourth shopkeeper, managed the affairs of Qilintang? Who is in charge of the business you belong to?" Pei Xiaoqing asked in confusion.

"Of course, someone helps me to take care of my grandma. I was in the palace and could not contact the outside world more at all. The affairs of Qilin Hall must not be known to the royal family, so I can only entrust one person who trusts and can often go to the palace."

Speaking of this person, Concubine Yu's eyes showed a hint of guilt and sighed slightly.

"This person... is the nanny in front of you?" Pei Xiaoqing asked tentatively, mainly because her understanding of Concubine Yu was only superficial, and she really didn't know who that person was.

"Haha, no one can guess who the fourth shopkeeper of Qilintang would be. Even Qilintang's own people have never met the fourth shopkeeper. It's just that the fourth shopkeeper will pay the silver and money to the main hall on time every year." Concubine Yu said with a faint smile.

"The Four Halls hand over the profits to the Chief Hall every year, and the people from the Chief Hall and other branches have never seen the true face of the Fourth Storekeeper Lushan? How is this possible? They will always meet during the handover. Even if you send your men, aren't you afraid that the people from the Qilin Hall will investigate it?" Pei Xiaoqing said in confusion.

"Haha, because you don't know who has paid the money from the four halls, you have this question." Concubine Yu smiled.

Pei Xiaoqing was shocked when she heard this and immediately reacted: "Can you leave it to your mother?"

The eyes of Concubine Yu showed admiration: "You can be selected as the young master by Qilin Hall, but you are indeed unique, and grandma has always been optimistic about you."
