Su Man bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I shouldn't refuse your kindness, but I've been out for a long time, so it's time for me to go back."
After saying this, she nudged Scholar Liu with her elbow. Scholar Liu only took one look at Su Man and understood what she was saying. He said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, my wife keeps nagging about Man'er day and night. It would be better if you could ask me to take her back. I'd be able to have some peace and quiet."
The emperor was delighted. "Well, well, well, in that case, I'll let you take her home first. Then we'll get married and you'll be entering my house."
Master Liu smiled again and then said goodbye to Su Man.

Su Man thought that Qi Xing would stop her from leaving the palace, but Qi Xing did not show up until she left the imperial city, which surprised Su Man a little.

"Yes, daughter, I understand." Su Man looked obedient.
When passing the west side of the city, Su Man said, "Father, please go back first. I want to go down to visit a friend."
"Why can't we wait until tomorrow to see your friend? Your mother is still waiting for you at home."
"Go quickly, daughter. Be sure to be home before dinner."
