Gongsun Yi hired a horse-drawn carriage. After loading everything onto it, he stood by its side, reluctantly saying farewell to his wife.
Liu Yuheng pressed her red lips together, looking at the husband she was about to part with. Though she had a thousand things to say, they all condensed into a single sentence: "Be careful on your journey, Senior Brother."
"Yes, and you must take good care of yourself and Lan'Er," Gongsun Yi instructed in a gentle tone.
"I will." Liu Yuheng nodded, her eyes firm. "Don't worry, I'll protect Lan'Er. I will never let Pei Shaoqing bully her."
Gongsun Yi didn't respond to that. He simply smiled tenderly and reached out to tidy her hair.
