Su Xuerong laughed: "Mother, what are you thinking? If Mr. Ling really becomes a prince in the future, he will have a bright future. Why would he look at a 'widow' with a child like me?"
Before Zhou could say anything more, Su Xuerong interrupted her again: "As you all know, although he is down on his luck now, he is still the son of a former Grand Secretary. Even if he is willing to marry me, would his family be willing?"
The prejudice of social class will always exist in this world. Even if Ling Qingxue is wishful thinking, can she get past the hurdle of the Ling family, a noble family that has existed for generations?
Su Xuerong didn't even consider that possibility.
Seeing the disappointment on Zhou's face, she quickly reached out and patted her hand to comfort her, saying, "Mother, don't think about this anymore. I have no intention of remarrying at all. When we are better off in Hangzhou in the future, I will find you and Father an obedient and filial son-in-law to live with us."
Looking at her daughter's carefree attitude, Mrs. Zhou sighed helplessly.
The weather continued to rain in the days that followed.
After the incident at Jinshan Temple, Su Xuerong no longer wanted to appear in public or go out frequently.

Zhou's concerns were dispelled.
Before we knew it, a month had passed, and the weather had gradually improved, no longer raining continuously.
"Sir, I went to the dock to inquire, and all passenger ships and merchant ships will resume sailing on the ninth day of next month. If you want to take a ship south, you need to book your tickets in advance now." Han Changrong brought back the latest news today.
After discussing it, the family decided to travel south by water and pre-purchased boat tickets to Hangzhou.
"Master, Old Han came to see me today and said that the Su family has already booked boat tickets for the tenth day of next month and is preparing to go to Hangzhou."
Ming Shu immediately reported the news to Xiao Yuan.
Since Su Xuerong destroyed that whole box of spices, Xiao Yuan has never had a chance to see her again, and has been focusing on recovering from his injuries at the inn.
Xiao Yuan was writing at his desk, not even looking up, and said coldly, "What? You're really planning to be the Su family's lackey?"
