Phew-------
Gongsun Hu, who was driving the carriage, tightened the reins. The chestnut-red steed raised its head and neighed, and the carriage slowly stopped outside the Forging Workshop. "Miss, we've arrived."
The carriage curtain lifted, and a sixteen-year-old maiden leapt down. The silver-threaded brocade skirt at her waist jingled with a white jade pendant. "Qiao'Er, hurry out!"
"Coming, Ms. Xuan, wait for me!"
As soon as the words fell, an eager response came from inside the Forging Workshop. Wu Qiao'Er, of a similar age, happily darted out, with Wu Lie following soon after.
"Good day, Uncle Wu." Li Xuan greeted Wu Lie.
"Miss Li, Qiao'Er is always mischievous. On this journey, I must trouble you to look out for her."
"Uncle Wu, you can rest assured and let me take care of Qiao'Er. Besides, Father will also be going to Shuangbai Town tomorrow, and Gongsun will protect us well."
