The next day, everyone gathered outside the city gates to bid farewell to Madam Tang and her son. As the carriage receded into the distance, the five people standing together let out a collective sigh of relief.
Ms. Cui instantly felt something was amiss after she sighed and, lifting her head to meet County Magistrate Yang's gaze, hurriedly explained, "It's a sigh of lament, my cousin's departure will certainly make the home much less lively."
County Magistrate Yang smiled at her, not minding her insincere remark. He was determined to keep his spirits up today; he had finally managed to send that thorn in his side away. If Tang Zhihe ever again got the idea to invite his wife to stay in Luojiang County, he shouldn't even think about it.
