Before the Little New Year, when Zhao Youshen's family hurried back from the Capital, Susu's room already had three new young wives.
Not only did Zhao Youshen's family bring back over ten carriage loads of New Year gifts, but they also brought two people prepared for Susu by the Old Madam—a midwife and a woman most skilled at attending to Postpartum Confinement.
Although Susu feared the Old Madam's worry and didn't tell her about the troubles there, she couldn't escape the well-informed Uncle Wei. The day he arrived in Hami, he had already heard all the gossip.
He feared Susu might feel embarrassed and didn't inquire openly. Instead, he sent a letter to the Old Madam to inform her. Only then did the Old Madam realize that Susu had been trying to appease her with pleasant words.
