Inside the Sha City Post House, Yongjia hadn't slept so soundly in a long time.
When she woke, she was startled to realize it was nearly dusk.
When Jianxi saw Yongjia come out, he said, "Yongjia, what took you so long to wake up? It's too late to rush into the city now. Let's just go tomorrow."
Yongjia said, "I've never had to rush on the road for two straight days like this. All that riding has made me feel like my bones are about to fall apart, which is why I slept for so long. On the return trip, Wanyun and I will travel at a slower pace. We won't be rushing with the rest of you."
Jianxi said, "I saved some food for you. It's simmering over a low flame on the stove. Hurry up and eat something."
Yongjia smiled sweetly. "Thank you, brother."
As Yongjia and Jianxi were heading to eat, they came across someone. The man's back looked extremely familiar to Yongjia, and she asked Jianxi, "Isn't that the Wei Family's second son, Wei Mingqi?"
"It is," Jianxi said.
