The Su family owns a small residence in the capital, much smaller than the former residence bestowed by the emperor for the Grand Secretary. It was purchased with the Su family's savings.
Su Nan and Su Wanwan settled down here.
Gu Ziyu escorted them to the door, only to be stopped at the door by Su Nan:
"Young Master Gu, please leave. For the sake of my daughter's reputation, please do not disturb her again."

It was only because he came to report that the wheelchair the emperor had requested had been made.
Lu Xingjian not only failed to praise or reward him, but instead found a pretext to kick him out of the capital.
Steward Li couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Sigh, the Emperor doesn't even care about Su Yatou, who needs a wheelchair anymore. Did you, Zhen Jin, come here just to cause trouble?
