Su Xiaoling smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Madam Zhao gently hugged her two daughters and got up to return to her room.
After Madam Zhao left, Su Xiaoling heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought I wouldn't make my mother worry when I grew up, but I still made her worry about me."
"But mother will find out eventually, sis."
Su Xiaolu leaned on Su Xiaoling's shoulder.
The empress did not like Zhou Zhi. All the officials and even the commoners knew that. Whether a person's heart was biased towards someone was clear as day.
The empress didn't like Zhou Heng now and didn't trust him. Sooner or later, people would find out.
"I'll be fine in the future. I'll be safe and sound, and mother will be at ease."
Perhaps a mother would worry about her child for the rest of her life. She just wanted to hide as much as possible.
