Mrs. Zhao asked Susu if she had really made up her mind. This question seemed out of place, and others might find it inexplicable, but Susu understood.
Mrs. Zhao was asking her if she had truly decided that the person she would spend her life with was Hong Sheng? Had she really decided to follow him to the Northwest?
This question had been asked by Old Madam before the wedding. And now, just before leaving, Mrs. Zhao asked again.
Susu's answer was always, "Yes, I have decided, it's him. Didn't people often say, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Since he's going to the Northwest, I'll naturally accompany him."
