The chubby servant was, after all, a trusted servant of the Imperial Doctor Mansion, having followed his master around and seen much of the world— he was not someone who could be easily fooled with nonsense.
Just now, he had a scare, but upon further thought, when did the young master or Madam of an official family ever stay in such a lowly place, or mingle within a merchant convoy? There had to be something fishy about this.

The mother and son exchanged glances, at a loss for how to respond for the time being.
This damn chubby servant actually had some brains.
Xin Lin cursed inwardly. She gave Noble Lady Shi a look, signaling her not to panic and give themselves away.
"Ah, since you've seen through it, I won't hide it anymore. Actually, she's not my wife; she's my mother!"
Xin Lin blinked, her small face crumpled.
"Your mother?"
