Di Xuan might have spoken lightly, but Liu Sisi could discern the hardship and peril in his words.
"Good child, you've suffered. Looking at you now that you're back, you've lost weight and your skin has darkened, but your spirit seems much improved."
Liu Sisi thought for a moment, "Remember two days ago, Elder Di brought two mountain goats, saying they were raised on his own manor and kept in the backyard. Dad has been reluctant to slaughter them. Tonight, we can kill one to nourish you well."
Di Xuan's voice choked up a bit, "Mother, there's no need for you to go to such trouble for Xuan'er. I have grown up, I am no longer that ignorant Di Xuan from before."
No wonder the scholar had said, "Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books!"
