At this moment, seeing Song Qinghe, I realized that Boss Hong's wife was actually the favored maid in front of the Old Madam at the newly ennobled Shun'an Earl Mansion in the Capital, and that the Princely Heir from the Bo Mansion came to act as the "family member," suggesting her favor was not a simple matter.
Seizing the opportunity while Song Qinghe went out to change clothes, a few soldiers seized Hong Sheng and demanded he confess the truth. Hong Sheng had no choice but to recount the story of how he and Susu had received the "life-saving grace" from the Old Madam, and added, "At that time, she was only seven years old. The Old Madam, moved by her loyalty, brought her close and personally raised her, treating her not as a granddaughter, but better than a granddaughter." The soldiers had never heard of such a story and felt it resembled the tales sung in operas.
