The next day, the old lady was discharged from the hospital.
Invited by the old lady, Kong Lizhen went to the Zhuang Family Mansion.
Mu Yan stayed upstairs with the old lady, and after she fell asleep, she went downstairs.
She didn't find Kong Lizhen inside the house, so she went outside to look for her, and saw her standing at the edge of the sunflower field by the door.
It was now August, and the sunflowers were in full bloom, the gentle breeze sweeping over them, creating waves of golden flowers. It was dazzling.
She stood with her back to her, gazing ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
Mu Yan approached and called out, "Godmother."
Kong Lizhen snapped out of her thoughts, wiped her tears with her hand, turned her head, and smiled at her, "Finished with your tasks?"
Mu Yan noticed the tear marks on her face, surprised, "Godmother, you've been crying? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just thought of some past matters," Kong Lizhen smiled at her.
