I can be your mother too

Apart from the contents of the vault, the old madam narrated everything about their journey from start to finish to her husband. Chi Lian sat in the living room watching in fascination at the behavior of the two elderly people. At this point she was quite sure that the old madam would secretly tell her husband about the vault contents when they were alone in their room. At thr end the conversation she said, "The emperor gave Chi-Chi a recipe for almond jelly cookies, and that's everything that happened." 

All the old master had said was , "This is a beautiful clock." and the old madam opened up like a flower. She was like a child reporting the events of her day to her parent, Chi-Chi used to think that she was the only one that did that with Muyang, how wrong she was.

"It sounds like you all went on an adventure without me, why wasn't I invited?" the old master indulgently looked at his wife and held her hand.
