The old woman instructed Cuiyu to take good care of her young lady. She then got off the carriage and came to Hengshan and her two daughters. She thanked them sincerely and asked if they needed any help. If they didn't need anything else, they would give them some gifts as a token of their gratitude.
Thinking back to when Zhu Lin and his group left quickly without waiting for them to give them a thank-you gift, it was as if they were afraid of being taken advantage of by them.
I wonder if these three masters have the same temperament?
"No need for a thank-you gift, but my two daughters and I are planning to go to the capital to stay with relatives. I wonder if we could travel together? My eldest daughter was seriously ill before and has not yet recovered. I wonder if we could borrow your carriage?" Gui Guxi said the words her eldest daughter had taught her.

"Are we really going to the capital? The capital is the emperor's territory." Yokoyama Eiko was worried that things might get worse if they went to the capital, and she whispered in Chiyo's ear regardless of whether there were people around.
"Right now, we can only take it one step at a time. Hopefully, this young lady from the Song family can protect us; otherwise..." Hengshan didn't finish his sentence, only coldly curling his lips.
