Because of her words, Xu Su Ying remained distracted for the rest of the evening.
Once the banquet ended and they left the palace gates to return to the Xu's home, Xu Su Ying quickly settled the old madam before hurrying straight to the backyard to find her daughter.
Chen Wanqing was reclining on a soft couch, reading a book. Chaoyang had already been taken away by the nanny. He played so much during the day that he grew drowsy the moment night fell. After nursing until he was full, he would sleep soundly until broad daylight. She was also slowly learning to let go, allowing the maids and the nanny to take over Chaoyang's care. This would make it easier for her to travel to the Western Regions in the spring to visit Jing.
When Xu Su Ying arrived, Chen Wanqing set aside her book and pulled her mother over to sit by the brazier. Only then did she reveal the dream she had about Zhao Jing and her father while she was in labor.
