Mr. Ma was greatly startled!
He asked in surprise, "How did you know I came to see Doctor Su?"
The gatekeeper smiled.
He said, "Miss Su had already instructed us yesterday! If you and your wife come, she arranged for you to wait in the small flower hall."
Mr. and Mrs. Ma looked at each other.
They were extremely frightened.
Every move they made was calculated by others.
The gatekeeper led them into the small flower hall and poured tea.
Then, they just sat there cooling their heels.
At half-past seven in the morning, Su Ruanruan arrived.
Mr. and Mrs. Ma were already tormented beyond endurance.
At this point, seeing Su Ruanruan, they couldn't care about their dignity, begging her for mercy.
Su Ruanruan was not in a hurry.
She sat down.
A servant offered her fragrant tea.
Su Ruanruan lightly smelled it, then set it down.
She said, "You should go back first."
Mr. Ma earnestly asked, "Miss Su, are you unwilling to forgive us?"
Su Ruanruan gave a faint smile.
