I don't know what Song Kangcheng said to Lady Ru after he returned, but when he came the next day, Lady Ru no longer talked about returning to the capital all the time.
As long as she doesn't bring it up, Fu Man'er won't resist her in her heart.
Since there wasn't much to do at the Xu family's place, Fu Man'er led Song Kangcheng and Madam Ru to wander around the area around Yun Town.
Both of them are native to Yunzhen, but they haven't really seen their hometown for over ten years.
Song Kangcheng was alright; at least he served as the county magistrate here for a period of time. But his concubine never returned after going to the capital.
After walking around, Madam Ru sighed, "It wouldn't be bad to live in seclusion here when I get old."
The capital city is full of deceit and treachery, and one must be careful at all times. But here, one can shed most of the pretense.
“Great! We can buy a plot of land in front of that lake and build a big courtyard. We can see both the mountains and the water. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Fu Man’er replied.
"Hmm." Song Kangcheng looked at the azure lake, as if imagining the scene Fu Man'er had described. "It is indeed quite nice."
Lady Ru looked at Fu Man'er gently and asked, "Man'er, can you come and live with us from now on?" She spoke with a hint of caution.

After all, she had been rejected so harshly by Fu Man'er these past few days, and she was afraid that Fu Man'er would say no the moment she opened her mouth.
This time, Fu Man'er didn't refuse so quickly. "It's probably not possible for me to live with you permanently, but I can stay with you for a while from time to time."
Hearing this answer, Madam Ru was already quite satisfied. "Alright, alright."
"You'll have a lot of places to stay then, including the Xu family's house, your husband's house, and our place. You'll be very busy."
Husband's family? Fu Man'er was taken aback. "I don't have a husband's family."
"Huh?" Madam Ru was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "You child, you're not married yet. Once you're married, you'll have a husband's family."
As she said this, she started to feel uneasy again. She hadn't even had a few good looks at her child yet, and he was already at the age to get married.
Lady Ru felt that since the person couldn't go back with her anyway, the most important thing right now was Fu Man'er's marriage.
Seeing Song Kangcheng walk ahead, she took Fu Man'er's hand and asked, "Man'er, tell your mother the truth, do you have a man you like?"
She had actually discussed this matter with Liu Fang at the Xu family's house today, but Liu Fang said that she was still young and didn't have anyone she liked, so there was no rush.

Madam Ru has suffered emotionally before, and she will not allow her daughter to follow in her footsteps. So, while she is still in Lan Town these few days, she must keep a close eye on her daughter.
She wanted to gather all the talented young men in Lanzhen together and select them one by one to see who was worthy of her Man'er.
Moreover, this child is almost sixteen, and children her age should be experiencing the first stirrings of love, so she needs to be taken even closer to.
Lady Ru was still thinking about what to do, and didn't even hear clearly what Fu Man'er said.
This time she had no choice but to ask again, "Man'er, what did you just say?"
“I said yes,” Fu Man’er repeated.
"What is it?" Madam Ru was stunned for a moment, as if she had forgotten what question she had just asked.
Fu Man'er looked at her strangely. What was going on?
Lady Ru finally remembered, and the sigh of relief she had just felt suddenly returned as she grabbed Fu Man'er's hand abruptly.
"What did you just say? You said you have someone you like?" she asked incredulously.

Such a strong reaction almost frightened Fu Man'er. Fu Man'er calmly pulled her hand away from Madam Ru's tight grip and said with a normal expression.
"I have someone I like."
What's wrong with this concubine? She's either distracted or hard of hearing.
Madam Ru was indeed surprised; her mouth hung open for a long time, because Liu Fang hadn't told her that.
After thinking for a while, a smile appeared on her face, because she actually knew something that even Liu Fang didn't know.
This shows that in Man'er's heart, her birth mother was different.
The more she thought about what she was saying, the deeper her smile became, which made Fu Man'er even more confused.
"Man'er, tell your mother what the person you like looks like, where he lives, how old he is, and how you met."
After Lady Ru had had her fill of pleasure, she began to question him in detail.
Fu Man'er blinked and began to answer her question seriously, "He is very handsome, the most handsome man I have ever seen."

"Madam, you wanted to see me?" The speaker was Xu Yi, who had just arrived from elsewhere.
