On the brink of death, Old Lady Wang suddenly regained her consciousness when Ye Qiu returned from the capital. Though she couldn't speak, her eyes kept fixating on Ye Qiu, filled with tears.
Ye Qiu remained unmoved, recounting his life in the capital: "Mother, I'm living well. The Holy Emperor values me greatly. Even if some Imperial Censors accuse me of being unfilial, they are quickly rebuked by the Emperor. As for Cong Ying and Cong Zi, they've married well. During their weddings, both the Emperor and the Empress bestowed upon them ten miles of bridal gifts. Their husbands' families dare not bully them. As for you fearing no one will bury me after I die, you can rest assured. Although I didn't accept the title of Prince, I will be buried under this title, handled by the Imperial Family as well. Look, all those worries you've had all those years are unfounded."
