Despite her tears, she managed to force a twisted smile, "Has everything at home really improved that much?"

"Yes, everything is better now, Mother. After we've return home, we can live a good life." Tong Sanlang nodded earnestly.

"Did Xiaomai cook for the Retired Emperor?" Zhuang Lühe asked again.

"Yes, some time ago the Retired Emperor graced Bailu Town with his presence. Xiaomai became his Royal Chef. She made a good impression on the Retired Emperor. This is an honor that many other families can only dream of throughout generations."
