The two stared at Su Yujiao's ruby ​​headdress, which she hadn't yet removed, their eyes filled with amazement and envy.

At the same time, Su Yujiao also noticed the jewelry on her two sisters-in-law's heads. They were identical jadeite headpieces, but the quality and clarity were average.

Su Yujiao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the jade headdresses they wore were gifts from her mother-in-law? Otherwise, how could they be exactly the same?

However, the combined value of these two sets is not as high as the ruby ​​headdress on her head!

Su Yujiao was in a dilemma, fearing that her two sisters-in-law would be dissatisfied.

"This...this wasn't given to me by my mother. It's her own. I thought it looked nice, so I shamelessly asked to try it on," Su Yujiao said, trying to take it off.

Bai Qingrou couldn't help but laugh when she saw Su Yujiao's adorable blushing face as she lied.

"Stop lying, your face is as red as a monkey's bottom."

Second Sister-in-law laughed and said, "Yes, you blush when you lie, don't think I don't know."

“We all know this ruby ​​set is more expensive, and my mother-in-law has already made it clear that this is for you.”

"Don't worry, neither my sister-in-law nor I are petty people. We won't hold a grudge over such a small matter."

“My mother-in-law is already good enough. She hasn’t set any rules for us since we married into the family, and she never gives us a hard time.”

"In other families, it's the daughter-in-law who shows filial piety to her elders, but in which family does the mother-in-law buy gifts for her daughter-in-law?"

We are already very content.

"As for my mother-in-law's secret stash of money, she can give it to whomever she wants; we wouldn't dare to even dream of it."

"Moreover, the General's Mansion is supported by the Seventh Brother, and the entire General's Mansion benefits from the Seventh Brother's glory. As the General's wife, you naturally deserve it."

The older sister-in-law stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Yes, don't pick them! They're so beautiful, like angels!"

While Su Yujiao was touched, her face turned even redder as her sister-in-law praised her.

"What are you three chatting about? Come and try the osmanthus cake your mother made!"

"Mother, eat first."

Looking at the harmonious scene of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along, Su Yujiao felt a little melancholy. In fact, apart from Lu Ziqian, life in her husband's family was still very good.

The parents-in-law are kind, and the sisters-in-law are harmonious!

If she had a loving husband, her life would be perfect, but nothing in life is ever perfect.

As time passed day by day, Su Yujiao eagerly awaited the Crown Prince's return to the capital.

That means my older brother can go home!

In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived, and Beijing welcomes its first snowfall of the season.

In the early morning, snowflakes fluttered down. After a night of heavy snowfall, the tree branches were covered with fluffy snowballs, pure white and lovely.

The distant mountains were faintly visible through the snow and mist.

On the snow, a series of footprints of varying depths ruined the pristine white landscape.

Su Yujiao lifted the curtain and gently shook her cloak, causing the snowflakes clinging to the red satin surface to fall lightly and smoothly.

Xiao Tao quickly handed over a hand warmer: "Miss, let me wait at the city gate tomorrow."

"Achoo...achoo..." Su Yujiao sneezed several times in a row, seemingly having caught a cold.

She nodded, still feeling dizzy: "Okay, it'll only be a couple of days anyway."

"I'm afraid I'm ill and need to rest for two days so that I can meet His Majesty in the best possible condition, lest I enter the palace while sick and leave a bad impression."

She had received a letter from Lu Ziqian seven days ago, saying that the plague in various places had been brought under control and that they were on their way back to the capital, where they would arrive in about ten days.

After receiving Lu Ziqian's letter, Su Yujiao told her parents and sister-in-law the news.

Then every day I would go to the city gate to wait, just wanting to see everyone return safely as soon as possible.

Especially the Crown Prince, he absolutely must not be harmed.

If something were to happen to the Crown Prince, or even worse, if he were to die, how could the Emperor possibly be in the mood to reward his officials? She might not even be able to see the Emperor.

Therefore, she was really afraid of something unexpected happening!

The next day at noon, Xiao Tao suddenly ran back excitedly: "He's back, he's back, Miss! The General has returned to the capital!"

Su Yujiao stood up abruptly, feeling a little dizzy with excitement.

"You've returned home?"

Xiao Tao shook her head again: "This servant has been following the Crown Prince's entourage; they went straight into the palace."

"The people lined the streets to welcome them; it was quite a lively scene."

Su Yujiao asked anxiously, "Have you seen Brother Gu?"

The two had agreed beforehand that he would send her a letter before returning to the capital, instructing her to dress as Physician Su and wait for him at the city gate, and then they would go to the palace together to meet the emperor.

Why didn't she receive Brother Gu's letter?

Xiao Tao nodded: "I saw it, but there were many people and guards blocking the way, so I couldn't get close enough to talk to them."

"Lord Gu also entered the palace with the entourage."

Su Yujiao's smile froze instantly. Had they all entered the palace?

Who brought her into the palace?

Perhaps Brother Gu couldn't get away, since he was with the main group.

It's alright, we can go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow. Anyway, the crown prince said that Gu Heng can bring her to the palace to meet the emperor at any time.

"Miss, I've heard that a divine physician is also traveling with the Crown Prince back to the capital this time. She made great contributions during this plague. Do you think it might be Physician Mo?"

Su Yujiao's eyes lit up: "Dr. Mo has come to the capital?"

Xiao Tao shook her head: "I don't know, those people watching the excitement are just guessing."

"However, I did see a masked woman waving at everyone from the carriage."

"I was too far away to see anything but the back of the person, so I couldn't tell if it was Doctor Mo or not."

"We'll know when the general returns and we'll ask him."

Su Yujiao, however, said with certainty: "It must be Doctor Mo. There is only one woman who can be called a divine doctor."

"Perhaps this will be a chance to meet with Doctor Mo."
