"Why don't I see Changlan and Changmao? Are the two children still tidying up?" Mrs. Cui suddenly asked.
Mrs. Dong was aware of the truth behind Dong Changlan's "death in battle." However, Dong Qingyue had not disclosed this to Mrs. Cui. While stationed outside, Dong Qingyue told others that he feared Madam Dong couldn't bear the news of her eldest grandson's death, so everyone should keep it from the entire Dong family.
Dong Tingyun and Dong Tingzhi had heard some rumors. In recent days, they did not dare to speak loudly, especially Dong Tingyun, who avoided getting close to Madam Dong, fearing that she might accidentally reveal the death of her eldest brother to her grandmother. If something happened to her grandmother because of this, what would she do?
Moreover, she was an illegitimate daughter. If something happened to her grandmother because of her, her father might send her to Qing Temple, never to set foot in the Dong family again.
