As the Su couple were happily bickering, Xiao Yunjing had already made preparations. Ms. Su hugged the three little ones, kissing them repeatedly while holding back her tears. She was afraid that her mood would affect Li'er, as women should avoid being upset during their confinement period.
She said, "Li'er, Mother is reluctant to leave you all, but I'm also worried about your older brother and his situation. I'm sorry that I have to leave when you need me the most." If her son hadn't been alone in the Capital City, she wouldn't have considered going back. With Gu Xicheng here, she was even more worried about her son. She loved both her son and daughter; she couldn't just focus on her daughter while neglecting her son. It wouldn't do for her future daughter-in-law to resent her, not to mention her parents-in-law were also there.
