Having said that, she headed toward the lotus pond with a bounce in her step.
Lady Liangyuan's lips curled into a smile, a trace of malice flashing in her eyes. She observed her surroundings; the autumn air was cool, and the wind strong today. This area was remote, with few people likely to pass by.
She followed with a smile.
Susu arrived at the lotus pond, hopping and skipping along the way. Seeing the boat nearby, she walked over, staring at it with her pretty, large eyes.
Lady Liangyuan approached and stopped behind Susu, urging her, "Susu, go on up."
Susu reached out to tug at Lady Liangyuan's sleeve, looking up at her, "You come with me."
Lady Liangyuan yanked her sleeve back forcefully, suppressing her anger, "It was you who wanted to find mommy, so obviously you should go up yourself. Don't you want to see mommy?"
Susu hesitated, "But grandpa said, little kids shouldn't play by the water alone. It's very dangerous."
