They had been traveling on the road together for so long, yet she had no idea Chen Jin was a eunuch.

Hexin’s words in the horse-drawn carriage suddenly appeared in Yaoyao’s mind. That would mean that Beitang You liked Chen Jin, the eunuch.

Yaoyao was shocked.

However, she still felt that Beitang You was not such a person.

Although, she was hesitant when she looked at Chen Jin’s handsome features.

Chen Jin had no idea that by revealing himself as a eunuch, he did not manage to clear the misunderstanding but he had given Yaoyao further misunderstanding instead.

When Yuan Xin found out Yaoyao was here, she quickly welcomed Yaoyao at the mansion door.

The sight of the beautiful young girl standing next to Hexin cheered her up tremendously. “Yaoyao.” She was already hurrying down the steps.

Yaoyao quickly went forward and called out to her obediently, “Aunt Xin.”

“Yaoyao,” Yuan Xin called out and held Yaoyao’s hand. She looked at Yaoyao up and down with a big smile on her face. “My child, we haven’t seen each other for so many years and you’ve grown to be such a pretty woman. You have such a nice face, just as beautiful as your mother.”

“Stop making fun of me, Aunt Xin.” Yaoyao’s face turned slightly red. “Aunt Xin, you’re the one who still looks just as young as beautiful after so many years.”

Yuan Xin gave her a coy look and smiled when she heard this. “You are such a sweet-talker. I’m already old!”

“You’re not old at all. I’m being honest. Aunt Xin really does look young. Your skin looks good and isn’t that different from a young lady of eighteen or nineteen. Your skin might even look better than them.” Yaoyao blinked. She was not exaggerating. They had not seen each other for many years, but Yuan Xin did not look that different from before.

If she had to point out something that had changed about Yuan Xin, it was that she looked more mature and alluring than before.

Her face looked just as young and beautiful as the years before while her skin was supple and smooth. There was no sign of aging on her skin and time seemed to treat her well.

However, Yaoyao was aware that Aunt Xin was able to look this good not only because she was a natural beauty, but she had also taken the effort to take care of herself.

That was why a woman needed to constantly take care of herself to slow down the aging process.

Yuan Xin was in a great mood after being praised by Yaoyao. She wanted to be humble about it but now, Yuan Xin could not help touching her own face while saying with a smile, “Now that you mention it, it’s all thanks to your mother’s beauty tips that I’m in such a good condition.” They may be separated by thousands of miles and could not see each other often, but they never stopped writing to each other. Yuan Xin would constantly ask Lu Liangwei for health and beauty advice in their letters.

Once a person got older, they would have to admit the limits of their age. However, as long as one took proper care of themselves, they would be able to slow down the aging process.

The more Yuan Xin looked at Yaoyao, the fonder she was of Yaoyao. Yuan Xin could not stop smiling. “You really know how to cheer me up, Yaoyao, unlike Hexin, who always just makes me mad.”

Innocent Hexin, “…”

She rolled her eyes. Did her mother really need to praise one person while berating another?

Yuan Xin pulled on Yaoyao’s hand and began to ask about Lu Liangwei. “Has your mother been well these years?”

“Mother is doing very well,” Yaoyao replied obediently.

“That’s good,” Yuan Xin said with slight melancholy. “It’s unfortunate that the distance between us is far and I’m always kept back here by matters in the mansion. Otherwise, I’d like to visit Great Shang again and catch up with your mother.”

“Mother misses you a lot too. She has always wanted to see you again in the Yan Kingdom, but has always been kept back by matters at hand and isn’t able to come,” Yaoyao said with a smile.

Yuan Xin sighed. “That’s true. It isn’t easy for her either.” With her responsibilities to her family and children, it was difficult for Lu Liangwei to be more carefree when it came to traveling. This was the exact situation for Yuan Xin as well.
