Chapter 13

Every day, I lived with my heart in my throat, filled with anxiety.

Finally, another letter from home arrived.

I looked at the thick envelope, just as always.

Half of my worries were eased.

But upon seeing the painting of Gu Yuzhi in his valiant military attire.

I wept like a downpour.

"Gu Yuzhi."

"Something must have happened to Gu Yuzhi."

"This painting bears my brother's touch."

My cousin hurried to comfort me.

"Brother didn't mention anything about the Young Master in his letter."

"So it seems his life is not in danger."

"The good news is they are returning to the Capital City with the troops."

"They should be not far from the Capital City now."

I rushed back to my room, grabbed my small bundle, and rode Lightning away.

In just five or six days, I encountered the triumphant army.

"Gu Yuzhi!"

I charged into the army, heedless of everything.

The infantry gladly and with smiles made way for me.

I navigated smoothly on horseback to a carriage.
