Pei Shu'er smiled and said, "How could that be? I know that you've done your utmost best, and for so many years, wasn't it you who raised us siblings all by yourself?"
Shen Wanqing smiled with relief.
"I now feel sorry for Baili Kong, sorry for you all."
Pei Shu'er waved her hand, "Please don't say that. Now, you're the Emperor's grandmother, the Empress Dowager's mother, and your children have all come of age with responsibilities fulfilled. Isn't it time for you to think about your own life?"
Speaking of this, tears welled up in Shen Wanqing's eyes.
It was a thought she had entertained, but she never dared to imagine.
However, hearing Pei Shu'er say this, it stirred a longing in Shen Wanqing's heart.
Pei Shu'er said, "How long are you going to make Uncle Baili wait for you?"
Tears streamed from Shen Wanqing's eyes.
"I am not worthy of him."
Pei Shu'er laughed, "Your status is so high, what's there to fear? Who in the world would dare to mock you two?"
