"Greetings, Madam Su."
“Miss Qin, I’ve been very busy with things at home lately and haven’t been able to visit you. I wonder if you’re settling in well and if there’s anything you need?” Madam Su asked softly.
Qin Xiaoyan was somewhat flustered and quickly replied, "Madam Su, everything is fine. I don't know how to repay your great kindness."
“Miss Qin, my Su family is a family of military generals, and we like to be straightforward in our actions and words. I won’t beat around the bush with you.”
Wen Zhou has received the imperial decree and has set off for Mo Han. It is unknown when he will be able to return to the capital.
I know more or less about the reasons why Miss Qin became a nun. It was your own choice, and no one else could interfere.
However, I think Miss Qin can see Wenzhou's feelings for you. Our General's Mansion has never cared about family background. As long as our child likes something, we parents will support him. You once went to a brothel, but it was to avenge your father. From this perspective, you are righteous.
As for your reputation, you were Liu Mengru back then, and now you are Qin Xiaoyan, the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Who can say anything about it? You just can't get over your own hurdle.
I'm here today simply to offer some advice to Miss Qin: some things are best left in the past, there's no need to dwell on them. People always have to look forward, and your parents and relatives in the world surely want you to live a good life.
Now that Wenzhou has gone to Mohan, I think Miss Qin's face will be fully healed before he returns. If Miss Qin insists on returning to the nunnery, I will definitely send someone to escort her back, and I will never let Wenzhou disturb her in the slightest again.
That's all I have to say; I won't disturb your cultivation any longer.
After saying this, Madam Su got up to take her leave. This was all she could do for her son.
Qin Xiaoyan was in turmoil upon hearing Madam Su's words; she hadn't expected Madam Su to say such a thing.
After seeing Madam Su off, Qin Xiaoyan knelt down before the Buddha, weeping, and asked, "Buddha, can you tell me what I should do?"
How could she not have Su Wenzhou in her heart? Since she was a child, she had heard her father mention the might of the Su family army. Her time with Su Wenzhou in Yulin this time had already etched this young general into her heart.
She just felt that she was dirty because she had been to a brothel, and that she was not worthy of Su Wenzhou.
She came to the Su residence to recuperate, but it was just another act of self-indulgence; she only wanted to be close to him one last time.
Leaving Su Wenzhou was a decision she had made long ago, but why does her heart ache so much now?
Qin Xiaoyan looked at the Buddha, who remained silent, only looking at the world with a compassionate expression.

Su Wenzhou rushed to Mo Han, while Xiao Yanchu and the others in Mo Han also received a reply from the capital.
Now that the epidemic was under control and the deployment map issue was resolved, Xiao Yanchu was eager to take Su Ruojin back to the capital.
When Su Ruojin returned to the capital, her belly was no longer concealable.
When Consort Jiang and Madam Zhao saw Su Ruojin's protruding belly, they were stunned and speechless for a moment.
When she came to her senses, Consort Jiang burst into tears. She clasped her hands together at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion and thanked Heaven, saying that she must go to the temple to have a golden statue of Buddha made.
Madam Zhao wiped away her tears, still feeling lingering fear. What if something happened to Xiao Jin, who was pregnant?
The Su family also received the news. Madam Su couldn't sit still and rushed to the Prince's Mansion with Su Yunfeng, followed by a line of servants carrying various boxes, all of which were filled with tonics.
The four sons of the Su family also wanted to come along, but Madam Su stopped them. She said, "The woman is pregnant. What are they doing here? They might embarrass Xiao Jin."
The four Su sons then gave up.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin, Madam Su also wiped away her tears. "Xiaojin, you've become so thin. You're pregnant and still running around everywhere. Honestly." After saying that, Madam Su glared at Xiao Yanchu.
Xiao Yanchu felt wronged but dared not say anything. He could only touch his nose and bear his mother-in-law's anger.
At this moment, Steward Zhang walked in and said, "Your Highness, someone from the palace has arrived."
