Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that perhaps things had succeeded, she hurriedly got up to open the door, only to unexpectedly see Aunt Qiu standing outside.
"Mother, why did you suddenly come over?"
The Duke Jing Mansion occupied a whole street, with several five-compound courtyards pieced together. Aunt Qiu's Wutong Garden was a bit far from them. Usually, Su Yu visited Aunt Qiu, so Aunt Qiu coming over herself was a first.
Aunt Qiu looked at them both with terror in her eyes, "You two might have caused a big trouble."
Su Yu and Hao Yun exchanged a glance, and Hao Yun stepped forward to fully open the door, politely saying, "Mother-in-law, whatever you have to say, let's discuss it inside."
Aunt Qiu took a deep breath and stepped over the threshold.
