"If you're not feeling well, get someone to call a doctor early. I'll be back soon," Shao Yunduan advised.
Qiao Xuan offered a gentle smile. "Don't worry, husband. I just don't have much appetite this morning, so I'm a bit hungry now, that's all. There's tea and snacks in the wagon, so I'll be fine after some food."
While Shao Yunduan didn't completely believe her, seeing her improve slightly eased his concern. He expressed a few words of care and saw her off to the wagon.
The road conditions in Anze Province were challenging, especially outside the main roads. Carelessness could lead to traps, and the carriage had to navigate slowly.
Coincidentally, it was market day, and as they passed through the bustling market center, Qiao Xuan decided to stop at a three-story teahouse. The lively street was filled with peddlers, stalls, and commoners selling their wares.
