Kapitel 729: Chapter 728: So Happy as if Having the Whole World!_1

She's darkened?

How has she not noticed herself?

Su Pan'er faces them, her face imbued with a delicate and dignified smile as she bows modestly: "The Empress Dowager overpraises me."

Patting Su Pan'er's hand gently, the Empress Dowager exudes a maternal air: "Why do you still refer to me as the Dowager? Your mother is my close blood sister - call me Aunt and let me hear it!"

"Pan'er wouldn't dare!"

Su Pan'er hurriedly agrees, dipping her head in reverence.

"What wouldn't you dare? Are you implying that calling me 'Aunt' somehow disrespects you?"

Although the Empress Dowager delivers this with a smile, Su Pan'er feels her eyelids twitch in response!

She quickly complies and softly addresses her: "Aunt."

"Very good, very good!"

The Empress Dowager chuckles, her eyes crinkling with glee, holding her hand warmly: "Look at my marvelous niece. Knowing your return today, I made sure to prepare a few little things for you. You may use what's useful and re-gift what's not."
