With a heavy heart, Jiang Shuyue comforted Aunt Su and Su Hui.

Watching Jiang Shuyue walk towards the west wing, Aunt Su looked at Su Hui with a worried expression: "A high social standing has its advantages and disadvantages. Sui Sui's future is secure, but your sister's marriage will probably be difficult."

"Who says otherwise? With your looks and abilities, you'd be a perfect match for the top scholar. But with the young master standing there, who would dare to propose marriage in the future?"

It's like having a tiger chained up at your own door; nobody dares to come and cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Su Hui felt extremely aggrieved for Jiang Shuyue.

"Hui'er, how long has Young Master Nangong been gone? He said he would come back as soon as possible, shouldn't he be back in a few days?"

Aunt Su gritted her teeth. As long as Nangong Zeyue returned, she would ask him in person what he thought. If he liked Yue'er and promised not to take a concubine, then she would hurry up and get the marriage arranged.

Su Hui stretched out her slender fingers and calculated, "Mother, they should have arrived at Black Pool Valley. Young Master Nangong said he hasn't been back for a long time, so he'll probably have to stay in Black Pool Valley for a while."

When Jiang Shuyue returned to the west wing, Sui Sui was sitting on the bed dozing off, her little head nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mommy, time for bed."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue enter the room, Sui Sui muttered something and slumped onto the pillow.

Qiuju sat on the edge of the bed watching, afraid that Suisui might accidentally roll off the bed.

“Miss, Sui Sui said he won’t sleep until you come back. His eyelids are drooping but he still won’t lie down.”

"Go back to your room first, I'll come over and talk to you in a bit."

Jiang Shuyue walked over and bent down to kiss her son's forehead.

Every year, smelling the familiar scent of her mother, Sui Sui would instinctively reach out and tug at the corner of her clothes.

Looking at her son's sleeping face, Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but think of that devilishly handsome face.

The same features, but my own son is still the cutest.

"Miss, are you telling the truth?"

In Qiuju's bedroom, Jiang Shuyue told her about Xiao Jingzhao's visit. Qiuju was so shocked that she stood there with her mouth agape for a long time.

“Really, that’s right. I saw those eyes in my hazy state. Sui Sui looks exactly like him, there’s no mistake.” Jiang Shuyue didn’t mention that she had guessed who Sui Sui’s father was when she was treating the eldest young master of the Prince’s mansion.

After the initial shock, Qiuju cleared her throat and asked, "Miss, Sui Sui's father has appeared. What about Young Master Nangong?"

Qiuju was both happy and worried. Suisui finally had a biological father, but this was a different story. Her young mistress was not one to be confined to the back courtyard.

"He wants to take care of us. It's not as complicated as you think. The young master just wants to give Sui Sui a good environment. I keep to myself and don't interfere with him. Don't overthink it. Pack your clothes in a bit. Someone will come to help move them over tomorrow."

Jiang Shuyue returned to the house and quickly tidied up the clothes that she and her son were wearing.

She didn't have much stuff to begin with, and quickly packed two bundles.

She kept valuables and some infrequently used items in her room. Qiuju was carefree and never knew whether there were extra or missing things in her room.

That night, Jiang Shuyue had a dream. In her dream, the courtyard was full of beautiful scenery, and she watched Sui Sui running happily in the big courtyard.

A moment later, a cloud of mist drifted in before her eyes and disappeared, leaving her in a bridal chamber brightly lit by red candles.

She looked down and saw that she was wearing a phoenix coronet and wedding gown. Just as she was about to see who the groom was, a pair of hands wrapped around her neck, and a warm breath washed over her.

Jiang Shuyue woke up with a start, the warmth still on her neck, it was Sui Sui's little hands wrapped around her neck.

Gently removing her son's small hand, Jiang Shuyue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

The dream felt so real; she was so close to seeing the groom.

The next day.

As soon as Xu Bo and Xu Dong stepped out of the courtyard, they saw a luxurious carriage parked outside.

Uncle Xu and Xu Dong had no idea what was going on; they only knew that the master and the young master were moving to another place today.

Knowing that their employer was too busy to come to the clinic today, the father and son hurried toward the clinic.

Just as Xiang Yang jumped off the cart shaft, Xiang Song called out to him, "Don't go in. If you get kicked out later, don't blame me for not warning you."

Xiangyang shrank back in fright and quickly turned around, pretending to adjust the reins.

What a terrible thing to do!

He had no idea whether his master would punish him in the future, since his master hadn't punished him.

"Xiang Song, we're brothers, you have to put in a good word for me with the young master. I just wanted to make the young master happy that day." Xiang Yang was now only concerned with avoiding mistakes and not seeking any merit.

"Good luck to you," Xiang Song said as he followed Aunt Su, who was waiting at the door, inside.

A moment later, footsteps sounded. Xiangyang bent over, holding onto the stool, and buried his head low, as if he wanted to hide it in his armpits.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after Sui Sui entered the carriage.

If the young master recognizes him and refuses to go over, he'll probably have to sleep in the stable tonight.

"Yue'er, remember to bring Sui Sui back often." Aunt Su stretched her neck and called out to Jiang Shuyue, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Sister, I'll come see you tomorrow." Su Hui also stood on tiptoe and looked out of the carriage window.

Jiang Shuyue and Sui Sui peeked out to say goodbye.

Seeing the reluctant expressions on the faces of the Su family mother and daughter, Xu Dong's mother joked, "The master comes to the clinic every day and lives in Laiyang City. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Madam Su had married off her daughter."

“Aunt Xu is right. Madam and Miss, please go back! I will bring Young Master Sui Sui back soon.” Qiu Ju turned around and waved to the group, then lifted the carriage curtain and entered the carriage.

Throughout the journey, Xiangyang remained silent, like a mute, not daring to utter a single word, and focused solely on driving the carriage.

After bypassing the bustling streets, the carriage sped up considerably.

A moment later, the sound of reading aloud could be faintly heard.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of reading faded behind the car, and the clear chirping of birds rang out from outside the window.

"Miss, young master, please get off the carriage."

Just as Jiang Shuyue was about to look out the window, the carriage stopped.

Amidst her jumbled thoughts, Jiang Shuyue stepped off the carriage first.

What comes into view are red walls and green tiles, and a tall gate tower, without any plaques hanging on it.

The courtyard is surrounded by lush green trees, creating a tranquil environment. The seemingly endless courtyard wall indicates that it is quite large.

Xiang Song helped Sui Sui off the carriage, and Xiang Yang bowed and led the horse toward the stable on the side.

"Mommy, whose house is this? Why are we living here?" Sui Sui asked curiously as the big uncle knocked on the door and a handsome young man opened it.

Jiang Shuyue and Qiuju exchanged a glance, then coughed and said, "It's close to the academy here, so Sui Sui can see her uncles often. Isn't that great?"

Upon hearing the names Su Jin and Su Nan, Sui Sui was so happy that she forgot to ask any further questions and ran straight towards the gate.

After entering the hanging flower gate, one is greeted by pavilions, terraces, and courtyards filled with lush greenery.

After entering the second hanging flower gate, one is surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, their fragrance filling the air. Following the sound of flowing water, one can see a pavilion in the garden, with strange rocks arranged around it and an artificial waterfall hanging from the rockery.
