"No, Yuquan, fetch the cloak, I'm going for a walk in the street!" Song Liyun tried to get up.
Yuquan helped her up, saying, "Young Madam, it's snowing heavily today, so it's best not to go. If anything happens, just have Shitou go and deliver the message!"
Yuquan hadn't lied to her. Ever since they left Lin Qingyuan's caravan, the sky had been overcast with occasional snowfalls, and in the last two days the snow had intensified, leaving the ground and walls covered in white, with the cold wind making the bricks and stones wail.
Song Liyun lifted the curtain and looked out, then whispered, "Has there been any news from the caravan? Where are they?"
The caravan had been gone from Mida City for five days. According to usual practice, they should have crossed the Zabu River and would arrive in He City in just two more days.

Upon hearing the sound, Shi Tou stopped abruptly and almost fell. Turning around, he saw that the young mistress was indeed there, and hurriedly climbed over the corridor railing and ran over.
"Young Madam, something has happened to the caravan!" he said urgently.
Song Liyun's heart sank, but she calmly said, "Don't panic, come to the study with me to talk!"
