Su Xiang prepared to speak to her parents about her relationship with Xun Zichen. She practiced scenarios in her head of how things would go. She mentally prepared herself.
The best-case scenario would be her parents accepting their relationship. Worst case scenario, they would altogether reject it and disown them from the family.
