Chapter 787

Shangguan Wanru asked Xiao'er why she had come today. With it being year-end and coinciding with the emperor's birthday, she knew Xiao'er would have been busy.

"I've been fairly busy lately, with no time to catch up with you. Today, I've finally gotten most things done, so I made a point of coming to spend time with you. Besides, I brought some pills for the Crown Princess."

The maid behind Shangguan Wanru paused in adding tea when she heard these words, yet she inconspicuously filled the teapot and retreated behind Shangguan Wanru.

"What happened to your sister-in-law?" Shangguan Wanru found this odd - hadn't her illness been cured?

During their maidenhood, she and Du Yijin didn't interact much. After Shangguan Wanru married and fell ill, she kept her distance from Du Yijin so as not to disturb her recovery. While they were not close, Shangguan Wanru was aware that Du Yijin had recovered from her illness.
