Indeed, an unremarkable carriage was parked there, and Lu Wenjin was anxiously scanning the surroundings.
When he saw Hu Qingxi appear, his eyes instantly brightened. He hurried forward, grasping her hand tightly and whispered, "You finally made it."
Hu Qingxi turned and embraced Su Yuntang, tears streaming down her face. "Su Yuntang, I owe you so much; I can never repay you in this lifetime..."
Su Yuntang gently wiped the tears from her face. "Miss, please get into the carriage quickly; don’t delay this opportunity. I only wish for you and Lu Gongzi to have everything go smoothly and to be safe and happy."
Hu Qingxi and Lu Wenjin bowed deeply to Su Yuntang before hastily climbing into the carriage, disappearing into the dusk.
Two days later, Liu Mama finally woke up from the effects of the medicine.
Rubbing her heavy head, she felt utterly weak, as if she had been asleep for a long time. Sunlight streamed through the window, startling Liu Mama awake as she struggled to sit up, only to find herself alone in the room.
"Miss? Miss?" She hurriedly got out of bed but stumbled a few steps before steadying herself due to her weakened legs.
Pushing open the door, Liu Mama saw Su Yuntang sitting alone in the courtyard of the guest room, holding a letter.
"Miss Su, where is the young lady?" Liu Mama approached and asked. "How long have I been asleep? Where did she go?"
Su Yuntang's face showed an unmistakable guilt as she stood up and softly said, "Mama, the young lady... she has left."
"Left?" Liu Mama was momentarily taken aback, staring blankly at Su Yuntang. "What do you mean by 'left'? Did she return home? But what’s the urgency regarding the marriage?"
Su Yuntang bit her lip and handed the letter to Liu Mama. "The young lady left this."
Liu Mama took the letter and examined it closely. "Miss Su, I... I cannot read. What does it say?"
Realizing her oversight, Su Yuntang took back the letter and looked into Liu Mama's eyes as she said, "Mama, do you know that the young lady has a childhood sweetheart named Lu Wenjin?"
Seeing Liu Mama nod, Su Yuntang continued, "To be honest, the young lady has eloped with Lu Gongzi."
"What did you say?" Liu Mama felt as if struck by lightning; her body swayed slightly as she struggled to remain upright.
Su Yuntang quickly supported her and guided her to sit on a stone bench. "Mama, I'm sorry. I helped the young lady. The tea that day... I added a sedative to it so that you would sleep for so long."
Liu Mama's eyes widened as she seemed unable to comprehend what Su Yuntang was saying. She murmured, "So... so I've been sleeping for two days?"
Su Yuntang gently held Liu Mama's icy hand and whispered, "Mama, the young lady never wanted to marry into the Long Family; she and Lu Gongzi have long harbored feelings for each other. This time... it was her only chance."
Liu Mama remained silent for a long while. As Hu Qingxi's wet nurse, she understood her thoughts all too well.
That day, when the young lady learned about the marriage, she cried the entire night. Did she not understand? Yet, as a servant, she felt powerless to change anything. Now that the young lady could escape this fiery pit, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and gratitude towards Su Yuntang.
"The young lady has always been a stubborn one," Liu Mama finally spoke, her voice slightly choked with emotion. "In truth... I should have seen it coming. The Long Family may be wealthy, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a good match..." She did not continue, merely shaking her head.
