Su Shunci was stunned. She knew her grandmother would interrogate her, but she didn't expect her grandmother to restrict her from leaving the house.
Thinking that the old lady was still calculating the money from the shop, Su Shunci thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, please allow me to go. When I get paid in a few days, I will hand it all over to the mansion and make sure I don't keep any for myself."
The old lady scolded him harshly, "What kind of talk is that? You are the fourth daughter of the Su family, can you still go out to work?"

When I turned around, I heard the old lady instructing Nanny Yuan.
"Tell the people in the mansion not to let the Fourth Young Lady go out without my order."
Su Shunci paused and walked out of Songhe Hall without saying anything.
Not long after she left Songhe Hall and reached the small garden, she was stopped by someone.
