Susu listened to this and quickly said, "Old Madam, I know you care for me, but this is something the household shouldn't involve itself in. Even if I were to be more foolish, I would know how many families in the Capital went through confiscation, beheadings, and exile back then. I haven't even met this cousin, so how could I bring even the slightest risk upon our house for him! It's just that I remember that there is still such a relative in this world. If you care for me, Old Madam, please wait until you free me from my servitude, so I can go and see for myself and put my mind at ease!"
The Old Madam looked at this young girl who understood everything so well with a complicated expression. No wonder people often say, "Deep feelings do not last, and extreme wisdom leads to injury." She lightly patted her hand and said nothing, but felt very comforted in her heart, as she had not doted on her in vain, and this girl had never let her down.
