Xu Zekun was indeed going crazy. He ignored the broken wounds on his body and started sending people to search for traces of Yao Susu and Yao Guang day and night.
Even if Wu had said with certainty that they were dead, the cliff was so high that she could not see the bottom. She saw with her own eyes that Yao Susu and Yaoguang's carriage fell off the cliff, so it was impossible for them to survive.
Xu Zekun sent people to search the bottom of the cliff and the town at the bottom of the cliff, but there was nothing.
He felt himself getting hot and could even hear the sound of the wounds on his chest bursting one by one. Before he fainted, the voice in his heart told him that perhaps he was wrong.
Susu might not have fallen from this place at all.
He fell into a coma, and the entire Ningyuan Marquisate was immersed in great sorrow. Even the emperor held a celebration banquet for Xu Zekun, but Xu Zekun was unable to attend due to his serious illness.
Every day, Mrs. Wu held Lingyi and cried beside Xu Zekun's bed. She really regretted it. She regretted that she had ever wanted to send Yao Susu away. Yao Susu was clearly her son's life!
Why did she have such thoughts in the first place, which led to the consequences today? She couldn't even find her granddaughter, and she herself spent a whole year living like a ghost.
She no longer concealed it. She told Xu Zekun the truth and let him know that Yao was still alive. This was the only way to save his life!
Go find her, go find her if you want, bring her granddaughter back as well, she really can’t bear it anymore.

In Chizhou, thousands of miles away from the capital, the streets are bustling with people early in the morning, and the hawkers' shouts are endless. The steaming buns, fragrant water chestnut soup, and crispy and delicious sesame cakes on both sides of the street are even more mouth-watering.
Dongxia bought a lively crucian carp from a vendor, put it in a bamboo basket, and walked towards Xinghua Hutong.
A year ago, Yao Susu brought Yaoguang to Qidu Town, a small town in the center of Chizhou.
Qidu Town is located at a transportation fortress, with rich resources, developed commerce, and is very prosperous. Yao Susu was just passing by at first.
But when they got here, Yaoguang fell ill. The long journey for many days was too much for the little child to bear. Yao Susu was completely panicked at that time. Fortunately, Doctor Li from Qidu Town saved Yaoguang's life.
After this incident, Yao Susu completely abandoned her previous idea of finding a deserted place to settle down, and instead bought a house in the alley behind Jishidiang.
Doctor Li of Jishidiang has no children, only a smart granddaughter who is a few years younger than Yao Susu and named Dongxia. She likes Yaoguang very much. Seeing that Yao Susu is an orphan and a widow with a child, she takes good care of them.
Chizhou, located in southern Anhui Province, boasts distinct seasons, abundant rainfall, a crisscrossing network of rivers and lakes, and breathtaking scenery. Qidu Town boasts a simple and honest people. Yao Susu, accompanied by a child, caused quite a stir when she first arrived. Jiangnan is home to many beauties, and Yao Susu stands out as one of the most striking. Even with her understated attire, her beauty couldn't be concealed.
In order to avoid trouble, she called herself a "widow" and came to Chizhou to look for her relatives but to no avail. She had no choice but to settle down in Chizhou, where she stayed for a year.
Fortunately, the people of Chizhou are very kind, and coupled with her initial indissoluble bond with Doctor Li of Jishidiang, Yao Susu lived a pretty good life.
She had been in Chizhou for a year, and everything in the capital was gradually fading away. Apart from sending her to Chizhou and finding Bai Feng for her, Zhong Qingxi had never contacted her. It was just as well this way.
Yao Susu didn't want to get too involved with her cousin.

Yao Susu's house is the third to last house in Xinghua Hutong. From the outside, it looks very grand with its pink walls, black tiles, red doors and green willows.
Dongxia has always felt that Sister Yao’s ex-husband’s family must be extraordinary, otherwise Sister Yao would have bought such a nice house without blinking an eye, which is really astonishing.
Before reaching the door, I saw Wu Qingshan standing at the door from afar, as if he was talking to someone inside.
"This is the fish I caught in the lake today. Let them nourish Yaoguang and Miss Yao." Wu Qingshan had broad shoulders, long legs and a handsome face. He was a famous handsome man in Qidu Town, but his face was flushed at this moment.
Bai Feng looked at the fish hesitantly, shook his head, and said unkindly, "Mr. Wu, please don't give me any more gifts. My wife has told me not to accept anything from you."
Wu Qingshan was a little hurt and said anxiously, "But because of what my mother said, Miss Yao, please don't..."
"Brother Wu!" Wu Qingshan suddenly heard a voice, and turned around to see Dongxia holding a fish, with a pair of big eyes smiling: "Are you giving fish to Sister Yao? No need, look, I've already bought it!"
She walked inside as she spoke, and Wu Qingshan saw her go in and close the door decisively.
As soon as Dongxia entered, he put on a stern face and said to Baifeng, "Don't open the door for him next time."
Then she called out sweetly, "Sister Yao, I'm here!"
Yao's residence not only looks respectable from the outside, but is also rigorous and exquisite inside. As soon as you enter, you will see a screen wall painted with the prosperity of the four seasons. There are three side rooms on each side and two main rooms in the middle.
Yao Susu was feeding Yaoguang. When she heard Dongxia's voice, she smiled, picked Yaoguang up, and said with a smile, "Aunt Dongxia is here to see you."
She was wearing a bean green round-neck Su satin top, which was very plain and clean, but still could not hide her stunning beauty. At this moment, she smiled, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of autumn water. She was truly charming and her smile was sweet, and her eyes were beautiful.
The Yaoguang in her arms looked just like her, incredibly cute, with a round face like a red apple. She was shaking her short, fat arms and calling out, "Auntie, Auntie."
Dongxia's heart melted when she saw him, and she smiled and leaned forward: "Yaoguang, auntie hasn't seen you for several days, I miss you so much!"
Yao Susu looked at her holding something again and said angrily, "Why are you buying something again? Why are you being so polite?"
Dongxia sighed: "It's just a fish. Our Yaoguang likes it, right?"
Yaoguang smiled in agreement: "Yes." Dongxia has a lively personality and can get along well with Yaoguang.
Yao Susu was helpless. She asked Bai Feng to take the fish away, and asked Dong Xia to sit down. She took out various snacks and said, "This is almond pastry. Try it."
Dongxia was not polite and picked up a piece to eat, praising it: "It's delicious."
"Sister Yao, I just saw Wu Qingshan at your door again. Sister Bai Feng looks powerful, but she's actually just as soft-hearted as you. I think you should let Sister Bai Feng kick him out!"
Wu Qingshan lived across from Yao Susu. He was still young and unmarried.
A year ago, when Yao Susu first came to Chizhou, he fell in love with her at first sight and always tried to get close to her.
Yao Susu knew that men and women should not be too close to each other, especially since she was a "widow", so she paid great attention to this aspect. She basically did not go out on weekdays, let alone contact with Wu Qingshan. In fact, the two of them had not spoken more than ten sentences in the past year.
But who would have thought that a few days ago, Wu Qingshan suddenly became possessed by some unknown evil spirit and said that he wanted to marry Yao Susu, and even asked his mother to propose marriage.
