The distance from Da Chu to Yun Qi is not too far; it takes about half a month to travel there by carriage.
The night before her departure, Su Ruojin went to Madam Lin's room and saw that the old lady seemed a little restless.
Having not returned to her hometown for over thirty years, Madam Lin inevitably felt a sense of trepidation upon returning.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, it's been over thirty years since I've been back to Yunqi. I wonder what the Zhao family is like now."
More than thirty years is enough time for countless changes in the world. Now, apart from Zhao Guangtao and some old servants, there are not many people in the Zhao family who still know Madam Lin.
"Grandma, don't worry. Go and see him first. Once I've taken care of Xiaobao's health, I'll go to Yunqi to bring you back," Su Ruojin comforted her.
This was something the two of them had agreed on beforehand. Madam Lin was just going back to Yunqi for a visit, and Su Ruojin would go and pick her up after a while.
Madam Lin nodded: "Be careful while I'm away. The capital is not like our Yanyang."
"Grandmother, don't worry. I know the Regent and General Su in the capital. If I encounter any danger, they can't just leave me to die because I saved them before," Su Ruojin said with a smile.
Madam Lin sighed: "No matter what, they are just outsiders. They can't be by your side all the time. Why don't you leave Fengying here?"
“Grandmother, you can rest assured. This is the capital of Great Chu, the safest place in the whole of Great Chu. I am just a minor doctor in Yanyang. How could there be so much danger?”
Because she was afraid of worrying Madam Lin, Su Ruojin did not tell her about encountering the beggar.
"Xiao Jin, I've been there. Your grandmother has noticed that the Regent treats you differently. People always say that entering a noble family is like entering a deep sea, and you..."
After several encounters, Madam Lin found Xiao Yanchu to be a decent person, but his status destined him to have multiple wives and concubines in the future.
Subconsciously, Madam Lin did not want her granddaughter to compete with others for a husband and spend her days scheming and plotting in the inner quarters. She would rather Xiao Jin marry an ordinary person and live a peaceful and stable life as a young couple.
Now that she has reunited with her brother, with the Zhao family's wealth, what difficulty would there be in ensuring Xiao Jin's lifelong riches?
Su Ruojin rubbed her forehead: "My dear grandmother, he is the dignified Regent of the Great Chu, while I, his granddaughter, am just an ordinary commoner. Do you think I, with my status, can marry into the Regent's mansion?"
Besides, Grandmother, you know me. I love the outside world and would never want to be confined to this secluded mansion my whole life. Don't worry about me.
Madam Lin reached out and smoothed a strand of hair from Su Ruojin's temple, her eyes full of love: "Grandmother doesn't ask for anything else now, she only hopes that you and Yuan Hong can be happy for the rest of your lives."
Su Ruojin grasped Madam Lin's hand and said firmly, "Grandmother, don't worry, Yuan Hong and I will definitely be happy."
The moonlight was bright, the shadows of the trees swayed and shone into the window, and a few candle flames burst out beside it.
The next morning, Su Ruojin saw off her grandmother and great-uncle. Turning around, she saw Hu Qing and the nanny and maid following behind him. Her lips twitched slightly. This was truly a seamless transition.
Hu Qing, accompanied by the nanny and maids, stepped forward and bowed: "Your subordinate greets Miss Su. His Highness has sent me to fetch Miss Su to his residence."
Su Ruojin sighed: "Hu Qing, you didn't need to come. After Grandmother left, I came to the Prince's Mansion myself."
Hu Qing chuckled: "Miss Su, it's just that the young master misses you."
The young master's feelings for Miss Su are understandable, but the prince asks about Miss Su's situation several times a day, inquiring about the preparations at Yunwu Courtyard.
It remains unknown who truly missed Miss Su.
