After Nanny Qin left, Wen Wan went to the back garden and only called Wei Qian out when she saw no one was around.
"What does Madam require?" Wei Qian clasped his fist.
Wen Wan's usual gentle expression was rare in its severity. She said, "I need you to help me with something."
…
Afraid Wen Wan might send someone after her, Nanny Qin first returned home after leaving.
Her husband still hadn't been released, and her son Qing was with her sister. As she returned now, only her blind mother-in-law and lame father-in-law were at home.
Seeing the elderly couple with mobility issues, Nanny Qin couldn't bear it on her conscience and rolled up her sleeves to enter the kitchen, planning to cook them a meal before leaving.
Mrs. Li, the mother-in-law, heard the noise and felt her way along the wall to the outside of the kitchen, "Is San Niang back?"
Nanny Qin responded with a "Hey," "Mom, I came back to see Qing."
