Sang Wan hurriedly said, "All I want is for my second brother to return safely. As for topping the examination list, there will always be opportunities!"
Unable to comprehend her feelings behind these words, Sang Yufei took it as consolation. He nodded, smiled, and assured her with a "Don't worry!" before turning to leave.
After Sang Yufei left, Sang Wan's heart remained tightly clenched, suspended in mid-air, her mind uncontrollably wandering. Only when she thought of the two servants accompanying him did she feel slightly relieved. It was not until three days later, when the servants returned to report that the uncle was safe in Hangzhou and had settled into an inn, that Sang Wan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Fangzi could not delay any longer. Reluctantly finishing the handover, she boarded the carriage with Lan Xiang and left the Shi Mansion.
