Susu looked at Mrs. Zhao, "It seems that Aunt Zhao didn't come all this way just to tell me these inside stories, right?"
Thinking of the sympathetic look Qin Miao had given her earlier, Susu felt a sense of unease.
Third Madam Qin Zhao beckoned to Susu, calling her to sit by her side.
"I have something to tell you. It's a decision your Uncle Qin made. However, if you are unwilling, I will naturally stand by you."
Feeling uneasy herself, Qin Miao frowned and asked, "What decision did Brother make and what does it have to do with Susu? She's just a military dependent and shouldn't be involved in outside matters."
Mrs. Zhao sighed bitterly at this and replied, "I haven't even said it yet and you're already protective. Do you think I don't care for her?"
She then looked at Susu and said, "I didn't know how to start earlier, but since we're here, I won't beat around the bush anymore! Your Uncle Qin received a secret report: the Tartar Khan has passed away."
