Inside the carriage, Zeng Ling leaned against Su Xuerong's chest and cried incessantly.
Su Xuerong didn't say anything, but silently wiped away her tears.
After the carriage stopped, Su Xuerong helped Zeng Ling down.
“I originally wanted to take you back to my home, but Yun’er often runs off there. This is a villa of the Prince, so you can stay here for now…” Su Xue Rong led her inside with Song San. “After the Prince helps you get a divorce, you will be free.”
Zeng Ling gripped Su Xuerong's wrist tightly: "Madam Su, can you stay?"
Seeing the tension and fear in her eyes, Su Xuerong patiently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the Ge family won't be able to find this place."
A middle-aged woman, accompanied by several maids, came forward and said respectfully, "This old servant, Cheng, greets Madam Su and Madam Zeng."
Cheng said, "This old servant originally served the Empress Dowager. Now, following the instructions of the Prince, I have come here specifically to take care of you, Madam. Please rest assured, Madam."
Zeng Ling's tense expression eased slightly.
Su Xuerong accompanied Zeng Ling to the guest rooms in the backyard with Cheng Shi. After everything was settled, Song San came over.
"Madam Su, the Prince is waiting for you in the front hall."
Zeng Ling was already lying in bed when she heard this and tightly gripped Su Xuerong's hand, unwilling to let go.
Cheng Shi walked over and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam Zeng, Madam Su will come to see you often in the future."
Su Xuerong gently patted Zeng Ling's hand: "Don't worry, if everything goes smoothly, you'll be free in a few days."
Zeng Ling then nodded and let go.
Su Xuerong arrived at the front hall, where Xiao Yuan had already changed into casual clothes: "It's too late tonight, you should rest for the night before going back."
Su Xuerong's eyes widened: "How can this be?"
"I have already sent someone to inform your household. Tell your wife the truth, and she will not blame you."
Su Xuerong was a little annoyed: "Why are you making decisions for me? It's only an hour's drive back from here..."
"If you return to the Su residence in the middle of the night and are seen by busybodies, how will you explain yourself?" Xiao Yuan asked.
Su Xuerong pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll stay with her tonight."
Xiao Yuan frowned: "I had no idea that you and the Zeng family had become so close?"
Su Xuerong rolled her eyes at him: "You don't understand women's affairs."
“Okay, but don’t overwork yourself…” Xiao Yuan said, gently smoothing her hair and pinching her earlobe with his fingers. His voice was low and husky as he said, “It will break my heart.”
Su Xuerong's body began to weaken again, and she hurriedly pushed him away, her face flushed: "Be careful..."
She didn't know any of the servants in this courtyard, and it would be too embarrassing if they saw them being intimate.
Xiao Yuan, however, had no intention of letting her go. He pulled her into his arms and looked down at her, saying, "What are you afraid of? Everyone here is my man..."
This is much freer than keeping him tied down in the Su family.
Especially tonight, dressed in men's clothing, she possessed an indescribable and unique charm that made him somewhat unable to resist...
Xiao Yuan stopped speaking and lowered his head to kiss those cherry-red lips...
Su Xuerong was held tightly in his arms and kissed, unable to move.
He finally let go after a long while, and she hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "I... I have to go see her..."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away in a flash.
Xiao Yuan watched her flee in disarray, a smile playing on his lips.
When Zeng Ling saw Su Xuerong return, she immediately smiled and said, "Lady Su, it's good that you're here."
The bed in the guest room was spacious enough that Su Xuerong and Zeng Ling could lie down side by side with plenty of room to spare.
"Lady Su, why are you helping me?" Zeng Ling lay down on her side, looking at the flawlessly beautiful woman beside her, feeling envious.
Su Xuerong turned to look at her and smiled, "Wasn't it you who begged me for help that day?"
Zeng Ling's expression darkened: "At that time, I had nowhere else to go..."
She tried to find other people, but Su Xuerong was the only one who agreed to her request.
"Where do you want to go after the divorce? Go home?" Su Xuerong felt a pang of sadness looking at her haggard face.
Zeng Ling shook her head: "The Zeng family won't let me go back. I... I haven't figured out where I want to go..."
"But as long as I leave the Ge family, it will be fine."
Su Xuerong sighed softly, "The prince said that if you have nowhere to go for the time being, you can stay here for now."
This can be considered as atonement for Ge Huai'an's sins.
Zeng Ling looked at Su Xuerong with a sincere expression: "Madam Su, it's so good to have met you."
The next day.
When Su Xuerong woke up, she found that Zeng Ling beside her had already gotten up.
Several maids came in to help her change clothes and wash up.
The bodyguard uniform from last night had been taken away, and Cheng specially sent two different dresses for her to choose from.
Zeng Ling also came in after changing into a brand new dress, and said with a smile, "I've come to help Sister Rong change her clothes."
Su Xuerong noticed that she was wearing a light yellow short-sleeved shirt with cloud pattern, underneath which was a moon-white bodice embroidered with plum blossoms, and a scarlet pleated skirt.
She dressed up specially today, revealing a delicate and charming allure.
But this outfit...
Su Xuerong exclaimed, "That blind Ge Huai'an actually missed out on a beauty like you."
Zeng Ling blushed and said shyly, "How can my ordinary looks compare to your stunning beauty, sister?"
Cheng Shi, standing to the side, asked, "Madam Su, which one would you like to choose?"
One outfit features a violet top paired with a grass-colored swirling skirt, while the other features a sky-blue top paired with a crescent-white pleated skirt.
Zeng Ling stepped forward and took off the sky-blue outfit: "Sister, your appearance is absolutely stunning. This elegant outfit gives you an ethereal, otherworldly beauty."
