Xu Zekun’s departure is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
The atmosphere in the mansion was gloomy for a while, but they still had to pack up for Xu Zekun.
Xu Zekun also became extremely busy. One day, when he returned home, he saw Yao Susu lowering her head and sewing something carefully.
When I took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a set of knee pads.
Yao Susu raised her head and stared at Xu Zekun, her eyes clear and bright, and she said softly, "Time is tight, and I don't have time to do anything. It's bitterly cold at the border, so I made a pair of knee pads, hoping to warm your body."
How could Xu Zekun not love her after hearing that? In the days before the trip, he felt more and more sentimental, which he had never felt before.
But now, even before we separate, I feel reluctant to leave.
He couldn't bear to leave Susu.
That night, they clung to each other till death. The night was long, yet so short.
After Xu Zekun left, Yao Susu felt more and more lonely. She could no longer find anyone to rely on in this huge mansion.
She wanted to go to Shou'an Hall more urgently to see Lingyi and Yaoguang. She only had her children.
However, this time, Mrs. Wu didn't even let her in.
Mother Zheng felt sorry for Yao Susu and advised the old lady, "Mother and child are connected by heart. Why do you have to be like this, old lady?"
The old lady's eyes were dim: "Yuzhen, I am afraid."
Mother Zheng didn't understand and asked, "What is the old lady afraid of?"
Mrs. Wu's face became increasingly heavy. Ever since Xu Zekun suddenly decided to go to the border, she had been wondering why. It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. Although she had not fully grasped the truth of the matter, she knew that Xu Zekun must have done it for Yao Susu.
How could she not be afraid? Xu Zekun had always been dignified, self-possessed, calm and steady since he was young, but how many outrageous things had he done since Yao entered the mansion?
Not only did he break the rules, but now he has even thrown his life behind him for the Yao family. How could she not be afraid when she is so crazy?!
"No...that's not the case." Mother Zheng felt that the old lady's guess was absurd.
The Crown Prince went to war in accordance with the Emperor's order, how could it have anything to do with Aunt Yao.
Mrs. Wu sneered: "She'd better hope that my son comes back safely, otherwise..." A dark and cold light flashed in her eyes. At this moment, she really hated Yao Susu to the core.
"Yuzhen, if Ziling wasn't like this, I could still tolerate her. But now, I'm really afraid that she'll become like Baosi and Daji, and ruin my son!"
Mother Zheng didn't dare to think too much about it. If the prince really went to the border just for Aunt Yao, then it would be... too horrifying.

Yao Susu hadn't seen her child for five consecutive days.
It should be said that she has never seen her child again since Xu Zekun left.
Yao Susu felt cold all over and her heart ached like needles. She counted her belongings, then wrote a letter in her own handwriting and sent it to Changfeng Study.
The reply came quickly.
After reading it, Yao Susu had made up her mind.
She went to Shou'an Hall again. This time, the old lady still refused to see her, but she did not leave. Instead, she kept waiting.
She had been waiting from dawn to dusk, and her legs were already sore and numb. Occasionally, when she heard the voice of a child in the house, her cold and lonely heart would feel a little warm.
Soon, she would be with her child.
Yao Susu clenched her fists, trying hard to support her tired body.
Her shoulders and back have become thinner recently, and her silhouette cast on the window screen looks like a fragile willow branch, which is very touching.
Even though Mrs. Wu was hard-hearted, Yao Susu's persistence was really inappropriate for others to see.
She finally agreed to let Yao Susu in.
As soon as Yao Susu came in, she knelt down straight.
Wu was startled. She looked at Yao Susu for a few seconds and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yao Susu kowtowed politely and said softly, "I apologize to the old lady."
"Oh? What crime have you committed?"
Yao Susu's eyes warmed up, and tears started to flow down her cheeks. "Master, you treat me with great affection and loyalty. For me, you ignored the old lady's wish to marry him and forcibly sent my cousin away."
Mrs. Wu had a dull expression. After sending Wu Qingli away, she was indeed angry, and therefore she treated Yao Susu coldly.
When Yao Susu admitted her mistake, the old lady thought that she just came up with this excuse because she wanted to see her child too much, and she didn't feel much in her heart.
After all, there are deeper reasons for her dislike for Yao Susu.
She didn't respond, but Yao Susu's remaining words really shocked her.
"Madam, I would like to ask to leave the house."
"What?"
"If I stay in the mansion, I will only become an obstacle for you to find a wife for the master, and I..." She burst into tears, "I will not be able to see the master marry another woman with my own eyes. Please, old lady, have mercy on me and set me free."
This was really too sudden. No matter how Wu thought about it, she never expected Yao to say such a thing.
In fact, she had already thought about sending Yao away, and had even more cruel thoughts.
There were a few moments when she really wanted to kill.
She knew very well that her son was obsessed with Yao Susu. Once a man was like that, it was impossible for him to let go, unless this person completely disappeared...
If you don't have any ideas, nothing you do will help.
Xu Zekun may be depressed and sad for a while, but "death is like the extinguishing of a light", and she believes her son will recover soon.
Now that Yao Susu had expressed this idea, she was willing to listen carefully.
"Are you willing to do it?" The old lady asked, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Yao Susu closed her eyes lightly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. "I'm reluctant to leave, but there's nothing I can do. Lingyi and Yaoguang are the treasures of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. They grew up in luxury here. I have nothing to worry about. As for the Crown Prince, he will forget me. By leaving the mansion, I'm putting an end to the self-torture of the two of them. It's better for everyone."
After hearing what Yao Susu said, Wu was really moved. Although she wanted to kill her, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
But now that Yao Susu has volunteered to leave the house, a lot of trouble can be saved.
Maybe she could plan it out.
The old lady agreed and agreed to send Yao Susu away, but in order to completely make Xu Zekun give up, Yao Susu did not leave the house, but "escaped to death".
The old lady planned to go to Jing'an Temple to burn incense, and Yao Susu accompanied her. On the way back home, the carriage lost control and rolled down the cliff. Yao Susu died just like that.
This was the ending she planned for Yao Susu. In fact, she would give Yao Susu a sum of money and send her to where she wanted to go, hiding her identity.
The only request is that you never return to the capital.
After hearing the old lady's plan, Yao Susu agreed without any hesitation. Her only request was to take Lingyi and Yaoguang to Jing'an Temple as a final farewell.
When the old lady heard this, she naturally refused. Lingyi and Yaoguang were so young, how could they be brought to the mountain?
But Yao Susu was very persistent, saying that this was her last wish. The old lady also knew that the arrow was on the string and as long as Yao Susu left, everything would return to the way it was before.
She was eager to set things right, and finally, she agreed to Yao Susu's request.
