In the evening, Bai Ruozhu lulled Dengdeng to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep herself. She was about to depart, and although she was returning to Anyuan Town for only a few days, she wasn't sure whether her timing would clash with Jiang Yichun's. She wanted to speak with him but didn't know if he could find this place.
Bai Ruozhu thought she was considering too much. The Inn's owner and clerks knew that she and her brother were taken by the Meng Family's steward, and they must have overheard their conversation with Meng Qiu. How could Jiang Yichun possibly not hear about it?
However, she dozed off and was awakened in the middle of the night by Dengdeng crying for his late-night milk feed, and she realized that Jiang Yichun had not come after all.
Perhaps he had to carry out some task at the last minute and could not just walk away, or maybe he has been temporarily transferred out of Beiyu City. If he could, he would definitely come to find her.
She believed this about him.
