Chapter 51: The Old Prince Next Door 4 On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth month, the Duke's Household sent over a whole cow, already slaughtered.

Her mind was now clear, her mental state steady, and in an instant she was back to being an Underworld wage worker. It wasn't that the Underworld had used some method to strip away Su Huandan's emotions.
