Chapter 213

Yuan Yunzhong paced back and forth in the study.

"What does it mean that there's been no response in just fourteen days?"

"What does it mean that his offense does not warrant such treatment?"

Was he to punish Shao Qing by slashing his stipend?

With the little salary that Shao Qing earned, didn't he supplement him with a large amount of silver every month!

He was annoyed that Shao Qing hadn't timely relayed any news of Song Jiyun.

Yuan Yunzhong stopped in his tracks, his gaze settling back on the plum blossoms.

What could Song Jiyun be doing now?

He had arranged everything that could be anticipated along the way; even the residence she would stay in at Nanjing had been meticulously selected.

She should be alright.

But nothing in this world is absolute.

What if she really did encounter some trouble?

Just thinking about it made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, thorns in his back.
