At the Inspector Residence in Jiangzhou, Su Xu had received the letter, stating that his wife would come back. It was good news – elder Duke, Princess Sheng An The Eldest, and the Duchess were coming to Jiangzhou, which was also good news. But they couldn't stay long, they had to go to Nanchu. That was bad news for him.
He also wanted to go to Nanchu.
But as the inspector of Jiangzhou, appointed by the Imperial Court, he could not leave.
He sighed, "If I knew this, I wouldn't have taken this position."
The concubines looked at their husband, none of them comforted him. They were thinking about going with the wife to Nanchu. If they wanted to go there, would the wife take them or would she find them annoying? Anyway, their daughters had the young master taking care of them.
After Su Xu sighed, he glanced at his concubines and said impatiently, "If I can't go, neither can you. Leaving me alone here. What is the meaning of this?"
