Miss Zhao squeezed Sixth Miss's hand, "I'll go home and plead with Grandmother!"
Left behind were the three Song Family sisters, two Cousins, and Susu. Aside from Fifth Miss smiling faintly and her eyes darting around, everyone else had a pale face.
Susu wanted to wait for Ruan Qiniang, but didn't know what to say. Forcing herself to stay calm, she said, "Ladies, let's get on the carriage first and discuss it back at the mansion!"
The carriage was lively with chatter on the way there, but silent on the return. Susu leaned against the carriage, feeling as though her brain was about to explode from thinking, though in truth, she wasn't thinking about anything. One word could describe it—"blank."
Once they got off the carriage, entered the mansion, and arrived at Sui'an Hall, Susu suddenly wasn't afraid anymore upon seeing the Old Madam. What's the point of overthinking? Just follow the Old Madam's arrangements.
