Zhulan instructed the steward to see Lu Jiaqing off and said to Yu Wen, "We don't even know where your father is right now. He hasn't sent back a letter recently."
Yu Wen was very worried about her father. The clearer her thoughts, the more she understood the dangers of his duties, "Father is not sending letters to reduce the chances of exposure."
Zhulan also understood, "I keep thinking about it. Your father has always been under my supervision all these years, and now there's danger again with his task. I find myself pondering over it every few days."
Yu Wen said, "Granddaughter is also worried."
Zhulan continued, "All the news I get is from your grandfather. Lu Jiaqing is going back to Chuan Province this time; I wonder if he will meet your father."
Yu Wen thought for a moment and replied, "Granddaughter hopes Lu Jiaqing does not meet father."
What if something gives him away and exposes him?
