“Little lamb, leap the wall. Short little legs, can’t make the jump. Cry and wail, calling for Nanny...”
She was born behind high walls.
Her mother died when she was three, and her stepmother tormented her relentlessly.
Only after witnessing the Tang family’s destruction with her own eyes did she realize that her time with the Tangs had been one of the rare happy periods of her later life.
At ten, she became someone else’s maid.
The young lady said, “So you’re a little mute. Poor thing. Can I call you A Nan?”
A Nan, A Nan... It sounded like a prophecy...
She lay hidden in the dark corners fate had made for her, helplessly watching one passerby after another leave.
She thought that perhaps life was just a succession of farewells, and she was forever on her way to another feast destined to end in parting...
“Little lamb, leap the wall. Short little legs, can’t make the jump... Cry and wail, calling for Nanny...”
Where was her nanny?
The nanny who had been with her since the day she was born...
Oh, right. Qu Shuangshuang said her brother had killed Nanny Liu.
You see, life really is one grand farewell...
Who will be the next to leave?
