Chapter 1235 What Kind of Gentleman_1

Bai Ruozhu immediately got up and went to meet the messenger; the letter from Beiyu City was either from her foster grandmother, Old Lady Meng, or Sister Hongxiu.

"Thank you for your efforts," Bai Ruozhu said as she handed the steward a purse, then took the letter and began to read.

The letter was from Yu Hongxiu, who up to now had not arrived in Capital City. Bai Ruozhu estimated that she would arrive within a few days, and had been hoping to see Yu Hongxiu before departing for the Western Regions.

In the letter, Yu Hongxiu wrote that she had been unwell, with no serious illness, but minor ailments kept recurring. Xie Dun worried that the journey would worsen her condition, but he also feared delaying the Imperial Examination, so he had to proceed to the Capital first. Meanwhile, Yu Hongxiu would stay behind with their child to recuperate, planning to set out when the weather was warmer.
