Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

Su Su pulled Li Xinglan's arm and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, looking at him sideways, "Brother Gou, you won't let me down. Speak, I'm listening carefully."

After thinking for a long time, Li Xinglan spoke intermittently, "I... got some news... My biological mother's health is getting worse day by day. She is bedridden and may die soon..."

Su Su was shocked. Gou Ge's mother was still alive?!

Knowing her doubts, Li Xinglan explained, "When I was looking for Wang Ma's son, I also heard about her. She was rescued by my father's colleagues and has been placed in a remote village..."

"I heard that she was living a dull life, so I didn't dare show up. I was afraid she would dislike me, and I was also afraid of irritating her... That's why I never told you..."

Now Su Su understood that Gou Ge was struggling with whether to go find his biological mother, and was apologizing for possibly missing his appointment to return to Jiangnan.

Her heart was relieved a little. When he said sorry just now, she thought something irreversible had happened and she was scared to death.

"So auntie, oh no, auntie is in Nanzhao?"

Li Xinglan nodded. Su Su held his hand tightly and comforted him, "Auntie won't hate you. Didn't she say that you were born into this world out of love? She must love you."

Seeing that his expression was somewhat moved, she continued, "Let's rush to Nanzhao immediately. We can return to Jiangnan at any time. Auntie's matter is the most important!"

Before they could meet again after a long separation, he heard the news that his mother was seriously ill. Brother Gou must have been very sad. Even so, he was still thinking about her and secretly decided to accompany her to Jiangnan...

Holding Li Xinglan's thin waist, Su Su leaned in his arms. Gou Ge was really good to her.

"I can't go..." Li Xinglan lowered his eyes, looking into Su Su's clear eyes, feeling even more guilty. "Nan Zhao and Qi Xia are now incompatible. Normal means of entering Nan Zhao are impossible. I can't take you with me..."

Not only that, even if he could take her with him, he couldn't bear to let her follow him on a bumpy journey. Winter was about to come, how could he let her suffer this?

"I'd better take you to Jiangnan first. I'll figure out the rest later..." After saying that, Li Xinglan even tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Su Su buried her head in his chest, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head. Her voice was muffled, "Brother Gou, you can't do this."

She raised her head, her eyes firm. "If you can't take me with you, then go by yourself. I don't want you to have any regrets because of your aunt's matter."

"Don't worry about me. I'll be waiting for you at home. I have Fuling and Honeysuckle to protect me, and the youngest one to accompany me. Uncle Chen and Aunt Wang are also here. I will take good care of myself..."

She was always so considerate and sensible that it made people feel distressed. Li Xinglan kissed her forehead and apologized again: "I'm sorry... I clearly agreed to take you back to Jiangnan..."

Su Su shook her head. "These are all trivial matters. We will have plenty of opportunities to return to Jiangnan in the future. You must be careful on your way to Nanzhao. Spend more time with your aunt and don't rush back."

The journey to Nanzhao was long, and the round trip would take at least two months. By then, it would be almost the New Year. Li Xinglan made a promise to Su Su, "I will definitely come back before the New Year, and we will celebrate the New Year together."

Su Su smiled sweetly, stretched out her little finger, and childishly made a pinky promise with Li Xinglan, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

It was a tender night. Because they were reluctant to leave each other, the two did not sleep all night and did many love things. During this time, Li Xinglan kept talking nonsense, which made Su Su moan.

It was not until the first rooster crowed, breaking the darkness, that the two of them crawled out of bed.

After staying up all night, Su Su's head was very dizzy and her body was covered with ambiguous red marks. Seeing that Gou Ge was almost dressed, she also quickened her hands and buttoned the collar buttons.

It was still dark and very humid outside. Li Xinglan took a fluffy cloak and put it on Su Su before taking her out.

Chuanzhu led two thousand-mile horses and waited at the door for a long time. He yawned and it was becoming more and more difficult to catch the fish.

I was lying down to rest last night, and I received a message via carrier pigeon that I would be going to Nanzhao with the young master early this morning.

Seeing the young master leading the young lady Su out, the two of them said goodbye reluctantly, which was very corny. Chuanzhu lowered his head and pretended to be very busy.

The young master is truly the most affectionate person in Qixia. In order to save time, he refused to take the carriage in such a cold weather and rode his horse all the way south to Nanzhao.

Tsk, looking at this posture, he doesn’t even care about his butt anymore.

Like a worried old father, Li Xinglan instructed Su Su again, "The situation is unstable right now. You must not run around. Be sure to bring Fuling and Honeysuckle with you wherever you go. Su Ling will also move into the mansion to protect you at all times. If you encounter a major problem that cannot be solved, ask him to find Yu Yan..."

Seeing Su Su patting her chest and promising that she would never run around, Li Xinglan finally got on his horse. Before leaving, he once again patiently instructed Fuling and Rendong, "You must protect Su Su. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, find Yu Yan!"

Fuling and Honeysuckle nodded repeatedly, assuring in unison that everything was clear.

After taking a last reluctant look at his beloved, Li Xinglan slammed his feet into the horse's belly and disappeared into the dim street with Chuanzhu.

Only when the sound of horse hooves could no longer be heard did Su Su rub her hands and turn back to the house.

On the way back to the room, Su Su kept complaining in her heart, Yu Yan, Yu Yan, Gou Ge kept repeating that he wanted to find Yu Yan for something, but it was obvious that Yu Yan was the one who created the problem, and she looked dangerous.

Ever since that day at the city gate when she saw Yu Yan ruthlessly order the shooting of refugees, she has been afraid of him.

In troubled times, not everyone is as gentle as Gou Ge and Er Gou, so she won't run around. She will stay at home as a stay-at-home girl and wait for Gou Ge to come back.

At the end of December, when the long streets of Qixia were covered with thick snow, Gou Ge had been away from home for almost a month. Calculating the time, he should be arriving in Nanzhao soon, right?

The dead tree outside the house was shaking in the north wind, the snow on the branches fell off, and the window was suddenly blown open. Su Su, who was curled up in a soft chair reading a picture book, was startled.

The youngest turned over, ran over from the doghouse nearby, and put his head at her feet, as if to comfort her and tell her not to be afraid.

Su Su touched its head and watched the falling snow drift in from the window, landing in the warm house and instantly turning into a puddle of water. She felt inexplicably panic in her heart.

What's going on? Why are you suddenly so uneasy?

She stood up and just closed the window when Honeysuckle came running in from outside.

Su Su rarely saw her lose her composure like this, and hurriedly asked, "But what happened?"

Honeysuckle nodded, and the moment she spoke, Su Su felt dizzy. "Urgent news has arrived, saying that the Weiwu Army... was defeated..."

"What?!" Su Su shouted in disbelief, "How could the Mighty Army be defeated by the Jin people?!"

Her legs were weak and she was about to fall. The mighty army was defeated... What about Ergou? How did Ergou become?

Ren Dong supported Su Su, "The Third Prince led his army in rebellion, bringing tens of thousands of rebels with him, and allied with the Jin people to occupy Ganzhou City! Now he is ordering the mighty armies of other cities to surrender and serve him!"

Su Su still couldn't believe it and was about to collapse. "How could this happen so suddenly? Where's Prince Pingwu? Where's Daddy Li? Where's Ergou?! Where's our Ergou!"
