Chapter 209 Prepare for a Rainy Day, Be Prepared

Murong Jiu was aware of Chang Chonghai's character and wasn't worried that he wouldn't keep his promise, but as so much time had passed without his arrival, she wondered if something had happened to him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be because they were in mourning for Lady Jing's elder, who had saved her life and later died at the hands of mountain bandits. Their loyalty in observing mourning rites was commendable.

Chang Chonghai said, "We should have arrived at the Capital City earlier, but on the road, Xiao Qin fell seriously ill. Only after her health was restored did we dare to come to the Prince Mansion, fearing lest we infect you, Princess Consort, with the illness."

Murong Jiu nodded, "No wonder Xiao Qin seems somewhat frail. She will indeed need careful nurturing. What plans do you have for the future?"
