Lin Yue's despondent state was evident to Nurse Xu, who sighed heavily at the sight but could find no remedy. It's said that a man is a woman's mainstay. Even an imposing woman like the lady of the house is no exception to this sentiment. No matter how much Nurse Xu counseled her, as long as the master had not returned home, the lady could not rest easy. And by the calendar, the master was indeed due to return. The continued delay, without any news, made their situation uncertain. Moreover, the master had ventured not just anywhere but across the boundless sea—a domain of which no one held knowledge—leaving them with nothing to do but worry incessantly. Their situation was far from that within the Great Zhou Dynasty, where they could have easily sent someone to gather intelligence.
