They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Aunt Sun did not waver and continued to shake her head firmly.

"No, it just won't work."

Xiuchun was so anxious that she wanted to speak up for her master, but was stopped by Jiang Wanyue.

"Forget it. Auntie doesn't want to, and it's not easy to force her. Just pretend I never said anything about this."

She sighed and her smile was a little forced, but she still politely invited Aunt Sun to stay for lunch.

Aunt Sun had originally planned to test Xiuchun's recent homework, so she did not refuse.

Xiuchun took her out of the main house and walked towards the house where she lived.

Aunt Sun still likes Xiuchun very much.

She never married and had no children of her own. Some people had wanted to become her apprentice or adopt her, but when they heard that she wanted to change her surname and had other harsh demands, they all refused.

Only Xiuchun not only agreed to change her surname, but also promised not to marry.

Moreover, she studied medicine very seriously and would send clothes, shoes and socks to Aunt Sun every now and then. How could Aunt Sun not like such a goddaughter?

So, after entering Xiuchun's residence, Aunt Sun saw that she looked depressed, so she spoke.

"Don't blame me. It's just that for us doctors, curing diseases and saving lives is our fundamental goal."

Xiuchun restrained her expression and smiled.

"I know that godmother is in a difficult situation, but I don't mean to blame you. Godmother is so kind to me, teaching me medical skills and visiting me often. I am always grateful. I lost my parents when I was young, and I regard godmother as my own mother."

Aunt Sun took her hand and patted it.

"I am the same. I treat you as my own daughter. To be honest, I have met some mistresses of wealthy families who wanted to recruit me but failed, so they asked me to teach medicine and teach maids. But none of them really treated me as a godmother like you do. They were all using me."

At this point, Aunt Sun sighed.

She is not young anymore, in her forties. Other people of her age, with grandchildren, can go to school, but she has always been alone.

Aunt Sun finally found a goddaughter who was filial, kind and easy to get along with, and she didn't want to lose her so soon.

Xiuchun's eyes trembled slightly.

"I know my godmother had no choice, but I grew up with the young lady and I just couldn't bear to see her like this... I was sold when I was very young and passed through several families before I came to the Jiang family. The maid who disciplined the little maid was very strict and always liked to beat people with willow branches. I was young at the time and couldn't help but hide and cry secretly. One time, the young lady found me."

As Xiuchun spoke, memories appeared in her eyes and she couldn't help but smile.

"The young lady was one year younger than me at the time. When she saw me crying, she asked me if I was bullied. I didn't dare to say that it was the nanny who beat me, so I said I was homesick. The young lady asked me where my home was. I didn't know, but I just remembered that it was in Willow Village. Then, godmother, guess what happened?"

"Two days later, the young lady suddenly took me and said she wanted to send me home to see my family! She took me on a carriage without telling the master and the mistress. Later, after we left the city, the driver felt something was wrong and secretly sent a letter to the mansion. The second lady arrested us and was so angry that she wanted to use family rules. But in order to protect me, the young lady never told me the reason for sneaking out of the city, and she was beaten several times."

It turned out that Aunt Sun didn't believe what Xiuchun had said before. How could there be any true sisterly relationship between a maid and her master?

But when she heard Xiuchun's words, she was moved.

After Xiuchun finished talking about the old things, her eyes turned slightly red and she felt a little embarrassed. She turned her face to the side and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"My godmother has her own code of conduct, and I can't ask her to violate it. I just want to learn more medical skills and prescriptions so that I can help the young lady in the future."

Aunt Sun looked at her steadily for a long time, and then suddenly sighed.

She was a little helpless, but still touched Xiuchun's head and said.

"Forget it, forget it. You two are really... I'll only help you this once."

Xiuchun's eyes lit up.

"Really? Godmother is really willing to help? Godmother doesn't have to do this just because of me..."

Aunt Sun rolled her eyes at her.

"Then why did you tell me this story? Aren't you just trying to impress me and get me to help your lady?"

Aunt Sun has lived to this age and often goes in and out of the back house. What hasn't she seen? She can see the little thoughts of Jiang Wanyue and Xiuchun at a glance.
