Su Yaoqi walked to the main gate, where his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law were there to bid him farewell.
Especially his mother, who looked somewhat haggard, her eyes still red, making it evident that she hadn't slept well last night.
Su Yaoqi was not a person prone to melancholy; he wanted his family to happily send him off rather than looking as gloomy as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister-in-law, why are you all standing outside the gate?" Su Yaoqi greeted them with a smile.
Duke Su asked him, "Are your things packed?"
"Yes." Su Yaoqi nodded, "Just two sets of clothes, nothing else."
Duke Su gave him a deep look, "When you get there, listen to your master well. Come home whenever you have the chance, so your mother won't keep worrying about you."
"I know, Father." Su Yaoqi responded obediently.
"Fourth Child." The Duchess held on to her last hope, "If you suddenly don't want to go, it's still not too late to regret it now."
