After Ye Gui headed south, Qian Xianlin came to pick her up himself upon her arrival in Jingzhou, Hubei.
The journey from the Capital to Guangdong is indeed long and traverses several provinces.
He did not feel at ease with his wife and child traveling alone, even though they were escorted by family members all the way; he had sent someone to meet them early but still felt extremely anxious.
Fortunately, Prince Rong was considerate, and after taking care of matters at hand earlier, he allowed Qian Xianlin to personally come for the pick-up.
Even after reaching Jingzhou, there was still Hunan to get through before finally entering Guangdong territory.
Upon seeing Qian Xianlin, Ye Gui could hardly believe her eyes.
"My lord, how come you're here?"
"Am I not worried about you and the child? Hasn't it been tough on the road? I've been waiting here for a day, so I've managed to rest a bit," Qian Xianlin said, aiding Ye Gui as she stepped out of the carriage.
