After Susu finished speaking, she quickly instructed Qi Qiao and Linglong to pack clothes and bedding for her. She then invited Mrs. Cai down for some tea, and afterwards asked Linglong's mother—Bai Fu's wife and Shuimo's father—Zhao Youshen to come over. She gave a few instructions, saying it was nothing more than following the manor's routine, and that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching in a few days, so Susu would definitely return by then.
Since she was going to someone else's house as a guest, Susu thought it wouldn't be appropriate to bring all her maids, so she took only Qi Qiao and Linglong, leaving the clever Fen Dai and literate Shuimo at home to look after things. "If anything happens, just discuss it with Aunt Bai and Uncle Zhao, keep the house in order, and when I return, I'll take you all into the city for a stroll."
