Su Shi could barely control her excitement. A myriad of emotions welled up in her heart as she embraced Jiang Ruan and said, "My poor Mei'er led a bitter life and died early, Ruan'er has grown so much, and must have suffered a lot. All of this is the fault of this old woman." On seeing that Su Shi was about to burst into tears once again, Zhao Guang hurriedly came forward to pat her on the shoulder and say, consolingly, "Furen, isn't it a good thing that Ruan'er has returned, why are you thinking about such sad things?"

Zhao Yi also urged her, "Zumu, now that our biaomei has returned, this should be a happy occasion."

The two mistresses of the Zhao family also consoled her. Su Shi wiped away her tears and smilingly said, "Look at me, wasting precious time like this. Ruan'er, please don't fault this old woman."

Jiang Ruan smiled faintly but did not say anything.

With the arrival of Su Shi, Zhao Guang and Zhao Yi did not continue inquiring into the matters of the Jiang family, but, together with Su Shi, started asking Jiang Ruan how she had managed all these years. Jiang Ruan told them the details, but concealed the Jiang family's ill treatment of her. Despite this, her indifference towards them was evident, and Su Shi was able to pick up on this. Since Jiang Ruan was unwilling to say more, she also did not press her for the details, but looked at Jiang Ruan with eyes full of love and regret.

Zhao Guang and Zhao Yi had previously had some understanding of Jiang Ruan, as well as of her past situation. Now, watching her attempt to lighten Su Shi's guilty conscience with nice-sounding lies, they came to love Jiang Ruan even more. Zhao Yulong and Zhao Feizhou had never met Jiang Ruan before, and they only knew that a biaomei whom they had never heard of before had suddenly appeared at the General fu, so they assessed Jiang Ruan with a lot of curiosity.

After Jiang Ruan's conversation with Su Shi, Su Shi decided she wanted to go to the kitchen to personally cook a meal for her, so she called several of the Zhao family's old maidservants to go with her, and all of the remaining womenfolk left the room.

Jiang Ruan looked at Zhao Guang and said, "I have something else to say."

Zhao Guang waved his hand. "Come to the study." He turned his head to look at Zhao Yuan Jia and the others, saying, "The few of you come along, too."

Zhao Yi was considered an adult, so he naturally followed behind. Zhao Yulong and Zhao Feizhou wanted to go, too, but Zhao Yuan Feng stopped them, so they left discontentedly.

In the study, Zhao Guang sat down before asking Jiang Ruan, "What is Jiang Quan planning to do with your elder brother?"

His first words were not about the distribution of congee, nor were they about Chong Xin farmstead, but about Jiang Xin Zhi. Slightly stunned, Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Does this mean that Maternal Grandfather is agreeing to help me?"
