Shen Qing was quite surprised to see Yu Zihan at this moment.
Based on when her second letter was sent, she had thought she would have to wait until at least tomorrow to receive news from Chenzhou.
She certainly hadn't expected Chenzhou to send Zihan himself!
Feeling the warmth of his mother's palm, Yu Zihan couldn't help but nuzzle against it affectionately. He was too caught up in the moment to dwell on the fact that his mother was Lord Xiao Shen. He shook his head and said, "Father isn't here yet. Word came from Sui State that you'd been found, and that news arrived faster than the message from Xizhou. The moment Father heard, he immediately set off for Sui State. Uncle Jiang couldn't stop him.
When the news from here finally reached Chenzhou, Father had just left, so Uncle Jiang couldn't step away from his duties. I begged him to let me come to Xizhou myself to see what was going on."
'A boy his age, running all the way to Xizhou by himself in the middle of a war!'
