Anning, seeing Xu Wan crying in distress, couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
"Good child, it's not about what you should do, but what they should do. All these things, they are the ones who did wrong, they have wronged you and don't know how to face you, not the other way around. You just follow your heart, our ancestor has your back."
With Anning's comfort, Xu Wan felt a bit better.
She lifted her tearful eyes and looked at Anning: "Ancestor, I want to go back to the south."
Anning patted her: "That won't work. When you were about to come to the Capital, your father had told me that you shouldn't return to the south now. If you don't want to stay at Duke Zhongyong's Mansion, just wait a bit, endure for some more days. Once I enter the palace, I could bring you to live there, how about that?"
Xu Wan was momentarily unsure, after a long time, she softly said: "I'll listen to the ancestor."
