And so, the night passed in waiting; Su Wenyue's concern grew from mild to severe. She didn't rest at all, just waiting there for Han Yu, occasionally stepping outside to check. Without realizing it, the night had slipped away.
The sky was already brightly lit outside, with the sun having risen when Su Wenyue, running out of patience, considered going into the city to look around; that's when Liu Xiu and Han Yu finally returned. However, they were not alone; a woman in red, looking like a blaze, followed them. Her attire was luxurious, and she exuded an air of nobility and pride that betrayed her high status. Su Wenyue had obtained some information about the Lord of Peicheng City, and she now had a guess about the woman's identity.
The City Lord of Peicheng had three sons and one daughter. He doted on his only daughter greatly. Judging by the woman's dress and demeanor, she must be Liu Xinru, the daughter of the City Lord of Peicheng.
