Xu Di escorted Chen Zhaoci back to her room, saying as they walked, "Mother, I know you are the most remarkable person. Look, I haven't even been to Miaozhou yet, I came to Yun'an County to see you first."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoci paused in wiping away her tears, turned around, stared at Xu Di, and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to Miaozhou for?"
Xu Di said with a grin, "His Majesty has issued an imperial decree ordering me to take up my post in Miaozhou."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoci angrily threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground and pointed at Xu Di's nose, cursing, "He told you to come, so you come? Are you his firefighter? Huh? Go write a resignation letter, we're not doing this job anymore."
Xu Di quickly put his arm around Chen Zhaoci's shoulder and coaxed her, "Oh dear, where am I not serving the people? Look, I've made achievements in Dengzhou and proven my abilities, which is why His Majesty sent me here."
Chen Zhaoci sneered twice and said, "Miaozhou is a powder keg right now. Do you understand why Miaozhou is a powder keg right now? Xu Di, don't think too highly of your abilities.

But have you ever thought about this? Let's not even talk about how you're not just our son anymore. You also have grandparents to support. And then there's your wife and your two children. They are all your responsibility. You are the sky above them. The first thing you should consider when you do something is what will happen to them if something happens to you. How can you still act like you did when you were single and carefree?"
Xu Di helped Chen Zhaoci into the room, helped her wash up, poured her a cup of tea, and then sat down to slowly tell her the whole story.
