Five days had passed since Gu Qiaoqiao and her family arrived in the Imperial Capital.
Lady Yu had not gone out at all.
Therefore, no one knew she had returned.

She couldn't even lift her legs.
Ning Wanru's eyes widened, her heart pounding wildly.
Fearing that she might not see clearly, she blinked hard.
