The horse carriage moved slowly, so slow that it seemed like it was afraid of jostling the person inside. What was normally a half-hour journey took an entire hour. By the time they returned to the city, it was pitch black. Once the carriage stopped, Cai Wei was surprised to find that she had been brought to a grand inn and couldn't help but exclaim: "Nangong Yi, what's going on?"
Nangong Yi got out of the carriage, picked up Cai Wei, and headed towards the inn. While walking, he explained, "I've already sent someone to fetch your family. You can all stay here temporarily until you fully recover. And once you're better, we can all return to the capital together."
Upon hearing his words, Cai Wei felt slightly uncomfortable. She had just managed to establish clear boundaries between them in Qingyun Town, but within a few days, everything got mixed up again.
