Other than the men, wives and daughters and small children were also allowed to watch. Tens of tents had been erected to accommodate each family. Xiao Yue and Yu Fen went toward the Song family's tent. Yu Fen helped Xiao Yue to sit comfortably before she excused herself to get some tea.
Xiao Yue was alone for barely three minutes before a soldier marched toward her, bowed, and passed her a piece of folded paper. Xiao Yue looked up to take a good look at him, but the soldier left as fast as he came.
Xiao Yue looked at the piece of folded paper in her palm. Just as she wanted to open it, Yu Fen came back with some refreshments.
"Look, Young Lady! I brought some chestnut and red bean pastries for you. These are best to enjoy with the special tea from Mount Lu!"
"Ah... Yes, thank you Yu Fen."
