At this moment, Susu was unaware of the impending crisis. After the warm room banquet ended, she only rested for a day, spoke a word to Hong Sheng, and then had the invitation card, which was prepared long ago, sent to the Commander's Mansion of the Hami Guard.
Hong Sheng was curious why Susu was in such a hurry. Logically, although she should visit Lady Shangguan, wouldn't it be easier if an "elder" introduced her?
Although Susu wasn't someone driven by power, Hong Sheng thought her befriending Old Mrs. Yang might have been partly due to this reason!
Now, being in such a rush, she appeared to disregard propriety. In theory, Susu wouldn't give anyone a chance to damage her reputation!
However, Susu felt she should reveal a part of the "truth" to Hong Sheng to prevent him from overthinking, which would require further explanations from her and potentially create more flaws later on.
