At the western chamber, Nangong Bi had barely left when Wei Tan arrived.
A servant reported his presence to Su Jiu, who proceeded to wait for him at the reception pavilion. When she saw him coming over, she stepped out to greet him with a smile, "Chief Guard Wei!"
"Please don't stand at the ceremony, Young Mistress Ji!"
"I owe you and your brothers a debt of gratitude for saving my life the other day! I will never forget it!" Su Jiu said sincerely, with her hand over her heart.
"Not at all, Young Mistress Ji. I dare not accept it!" Seeing how solemn Su Jiu was behaving, Wei Tan felt a little self-conscious. "I'm just glad that you're fine. How is General Hu doing?"
"He's still unconscious, but the army physician said his situation isn't life-threatening!"
