"Sushu, your home is in the south... tell me about the delicious food here!" Suhua noticed that Qingyan looked a little tired, so she quickly brought up a topic that Qingyan was interested in.

"Master, my family is from Yangzhou. If I can go to Yangzhou this time, could you please let me go home to visit them?" Su Shu looked at Qing Yan, hoping that her master would grant her this favor.

Qingyan nodded. If they went to Yangzhou, she could go with Sushu to take a look.

“Going back is fine, but take us with you!” Qingyan blinked, and Sushu looked at her master with some helplessness.

“Master, Yangzhou is a very small place. Apart from the beautiful scenery of West Lake, there’s not much else to see!” Su Shu said helplessly.

Qingyan knew many sights in Yangzhou. Right now, the mansions of those salt merchants had not yet been built. As far as he could see, the only place to look was the Slender West Lake.

"No need to go to Yangzhou specifically. Starting tomorrow, I'll give you twenty days off. Go back and visit. I heard from the master that you shouldn't be leaving during these twenty days!" Qingyan looked at Sushu's smiling face and smiled back. Sushu had been in the palace for five years and hadn't seen her family. This time... it could be considered fulfilling one of her wishes.

"Thank you, Master!" Su Shu happily expressed her gratitude.

"Don't rush to thank me. The master will probably send guards to accompany you in case something happens to you on the way!" Qingyan thought for a moment. Sushu hadn't been home for several years. If she encountered an awful brother or sister-in-law, it would be safer to have someone accompany her.

Su Shu kowtowed gratefully. It was only natural for her master to arrange for her to follow her lover, and she felt it would be abrupt not to reply.

“Sulan, you’ve been in the palace for a long time, and this Madam Cao…” Qingyan pondered. Cao Yin’s wife was probably around thirty years old, and she looked quite stern. (To be continued.
