"Yes, we often tell the eldest miss the sa, but she always says, just finish this bit and it’ll be fine. We worry she might get exhausted." Cloud knows how many things Nangong Beiying deals with every day, even with them helping to share so of the work, it shows how much she has on her plate.
"You should keep an eye on her more in the future, don’t let her push herself too hard. A woman doesn’t need to be so strong-willed; delegate what can be delegated, as long as she holds on to a few core responsibilities." Nangong Susu explains to Cloud about these insights.
But she doesn’t know that Nangong Beiying has always been doing this. Not only does she have to manage the Nangong family’s matters, but she also has to handle the affairs of the Qingteng Gang, which is why she’s so worn out.
Nangong Susu overlooked that even just the core matters are almost no less than those of the Nangong family. Combining both sides’ tasks, it’s imaginable how exhausting it must be, saying she’s worn out like a dog wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
However, how could she possibly explain this to Nangong Susu? These matters cannot be known to the Nangong family, right? So Cloud simply nods, indicating she understands, and says she’ll tell Nangong Beiying, ending their discussion.
"Cloud, does your miss have soone she likes?" Nangong Susu suddenly rembers a question.
"Ms. Susu, I’m really not sure about that. The master’s affairs are not sothing we can randomly speculate about, I hope you understand." Cloud’s heart skips a beat, has Nangong Susu discovered sothing?
"It’s nothing, I just thought since you’re around her often you’d know. Actually, it’s my uncle worrying about her marriage, asking to inquire. But I haven’t had a chance to speak to her, so I thought I’d ask you. It’s alright if you’re not aware." Indeed, Nangong Susu’s uncle had asked her to inquire.
Otherwise, she doesn’t even have soone herself, how would she ask? If Nangong Beiying were to say, ’Sister Su, whenever you get married, that’s when I’ll marry,’ what would she do?
Therefore, hearing Cloud’s words, she doesn’t feel any lack of understanding; not everyone is always thinking about marriage. At least before she finds the person she wishes to marry, she doesn’t intend to.
"The eldest miss has been busy with the things over there lately and wants to co back to manage the Nangong family’s affairs. I haven’t seen anyone she likes, but if I discover anything, I’ll let Ms. Susu know." Cloud thinks to herself, now that she’s saying this, will Nangong Susu eliminate her if the eldest miss’s belly starts showing.
But before knowing about this matter, she must keep Miss’s secret. She’ll deal with it when it cos to light.
"I’m here, you should go back. Keep an eye on her more, take things easy, don’t overdo it. Head back now." Nangong Susu has her own place outside, so she’s returning ho.
"Alright, Ms. Susu, please go in first, I’ll head back once I see you get ho." Cloud knows danger can be everywhere, and for Nangong Susu’s safety, she needs to make sure she’s inside before feeling assured.
"You’re used to being around Beiying, right? Where would there be so much danger?" Nangong Susu says, then turns around and heads inside.
To let Cloud return sooner, she wouldn’t linger outside wasting ti; otherwise, who knows how long Cloud will wait.
"Good night, Ms. Susu." Cloud watches Nangong Susu enter and close the door, then says.
"Good night." Nangong Susu finds Cloud rather amusing.
