Meng Qianqian nodded.
Shopkeeper Liu chuckled and backed out.
Madam Lu paused and said to Jade Lotus, "Jade Lotus, go to the carriage and fetch me a cloak."
"Yes, Madam."
Jade Lotus went out.
Meng Qianqian could tell Madam Lu had deliberately sent Jade Lotus away, likely to speak with her in private.
Madam Lu said, "Qianqian, regarding your great-grandmother, I don't believe I've ever brought it up with you."
Meng Qianqian asked, "What about her?"
Madam Lu sighed and said, "Your great-grandmother has endured a hard life. She dedicated herself to the Lu Family for her entire life. Fortunately, she met you, someone who treats her as if she were your own great-grandmother and shows her such filial piety, so her old age isn't so lonely after all."
Meng Qianqian sensed there was more behind Madam Lu's words but remained calm and said, "Great-grandmother is surrounded by children and grandchildren. Even without me, she still has Master Lu and Lu Lingxiao to care for her."
