"Miss, we have arrived. My subordinate has confirmed that the small courtyard ahead is the one." Ameng brought the carriage to a stop and spoke to Qingli, who was inside.
Qingli felt a surge of tension and shame wash over her. She lifted the curtain to look out, only to find Su Jinyu walking out with a woman by his side. The woman was radiant, her eyes filled with confidence and vitality; she nodded and responded to Su Jinyu from time to time. Although there was no overt intimacy between them, it was clear that Su Jinyu held her in high regard. As far as Qingli knew, no woman in the capital had ever been able to get so close to Su Jinyu, let alone engage him in such an effortless, back-and-forth conversation. She watched, wide-eyed, as they walked away until they vanished from sight. Qingli stared for a long time, and once they were gone, she hugged her child and whispered, "Look, my son, that is your father. He is exceptional, which is why he attracts even brighter, more brilliant women to his side."
Just as Qingli was about to lower the curtain, she saw Madame Qin run out in a panic, looking about in desperation. Her face was frantic, and there were bloodstains on her clothing. Qingli’s heart sank. "Ameng, hold him tight. Find an inn nearby to settle in; I will contact you later." With that, she jumped out, grabbing her medical kit.
