The changes of the current Mrs. Zhang and Su Pan'er since their first meeting are indeed vast.
Not only did she give up on her threatening appearance, but also warmly held Su Pan'er's hand and started to chat as soon as she saw her. She looked at Little Yanyan with trepidation for a while and conveniently took off her jade bracelet from her wrist to give it to her as a meeting gift.
The staircase was terribly long. After they had climbed about a third of it, Mrs. Zhang and her entourage could ascend no further. The maids and old women were dripping with sweat and their legs were trembling.
Seeing this, Su Pan'er, in a rare cheerful mood, suggested resting in a nearby pavilion. Mrs. Zhang held Su Pan'er's hand and sat down.
"Younger sister Pan'er, telling you as your sister, I think of you as my real sister and don't wish to hide anything from you. My husband told me that there seems to be some restless people in court who are picking on Lord Qin, do you know about this?"
