After the young man heard the woman shout out his name, he burst into tears and knelt down with a plop. He choked up and said, "Sister, it's me, Hao'er. I finally see you."

After hearing what the young man said, the little palace maid started to cry. She squatted down and stared at the young man, muttering in disbelief, "Hao'er, is it really Hao'er..."

It’s no wonder that the woman didn’t recognize the boy in front of her. It’s just that she had been away from home for too many years.

When she left, her brother was only five or six years old, still a child. Now, ten years have passed, and the child has grown into a teenager. When he stood in front of her, he was much taller than her. The child who used to look down at her has grown into a man who she needs to look up at.

A lot has changed in ten years.

Fortunately, both the sister and brother can see the shadow of their past in each other's eyes.

The young man took two steps on his knees, reached out his hand to hold the woman's hand, and said excitedly: "Sister, you are still alive, it's great, it's really great."

God knows, when he heard the news of his sister's death, he felt like the sky had fallen.

The little palace maid raised her hand to wipe her tears, held her brother's hand, and said softly: "You have grown up..."

Zhou Chen stood aside, watching the brother and sister recognize each other, and silently stepped back a few steps so as not to disturb them from talking to each other.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Chen stepped forward to interrupt their conversation and said calmly, "The visiting time in the prison is limited. You will have plenty of time to get together in the future. This is not the most important thing right now."

Zhou Chen's words interrupted the brother and sister. They raised their hands to wipe their tears and looked over at the same time.

The little maid looked at her brother, then at Zhou Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, what is going on?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the boy: "Haven't you told your sister yet?"

The young man pursed his lips, looked at his sister, and said in a deep voice: "Before, someone came to my house with a generous amount of silver notes, saying that something happened to you in the palace, and the master you serve appreciates your loyalty and specially sent these silver notes to ensure that my mother and I will have no worries for the rest of our lives. However, they want my mother and I to leave the capital to avoid trouble."

"My mother and I were deeply troubled by the news of your death. We left with them without giving it much thought. They placed us in a very remote place, saying that they wanted me to study in peace... But later, these people wanted to take my mother's and my life."

The young man looked at the young maid with some grief and anger in his eyes and said, "Sister, you have been deceived by others. Your so-called master did not treat me and my mother well as promised with you. She only wanted to kill us to silence us."

"Sister, and you, is it really worth it to lose your life for such a person?"

The young man eagerly grabbed the little palace maid's hand and said quickly, "Sister, please listen to Lord Zhou and tell us everything you know. Lord Zhou said that as long as the truth of this matter is revealed, he will ensure that you live in peace."

"Tell me everything. When this matter is over, you will leave the palace and live a peaceful life with me and mother. You will never serve anyone in the palace again."

The little palace maid looked at her anxious brother and was speechless for a long time.

She really didn't expect that the person she was loyal to would treat her family like this.
