Nangong Bi’s Worries

It was noon, and many people were entering the city. The horse carriage blended in with the crowd and was crawling at a snail's pace.

Su Jiu swapped horse carriages and sat in the Eldest Mistress's carriage. She said modestly, "Your daughter left for one month. I'm sorry for worrying you, Mother."

The Eldest Mistress stroked her black hair tenderly. "As long as you and Ji Yuxian return safely, I am willing to wait however long!"

"Has Mother been well during this past month? Did Madame Lin find you to stir any trouble?" Su Jiu asked worriedly.

"Not at all, don't worry!" the Eldest Mistress reassured her, before asking her with concern, "Has Yuxian's poison been detoxified?"

Su Jiu grinned. "It's been resolved!"

"That's great!" The Eldest Mistress could finally relax. She held Su Jiu's hand tightly. "The hard times are finally over, and the good times are just beginning for you two children!" she could not help but choke as she spoke.
