Zhulan embraced Yu Yi, "Little Yu Yi, did you hear that? Your mom and dad are home."
Steward Ding then went to arrange for the returning house servants, and soon, Chang Lian and the others all arrived in the main courtyard. Zhulan looked at them—this journey had not been easy, and their complexions were all rather poor, "It's peace at last, coming home is good."
Without them, she would worry incessantly day after day, even fearing that someone might think the Zhou family had a future heir and therefore might attack Chang Lian and Rongchuan. Despite Zhou Shuren's calm demeanor, he too was deeply concerned.
After Chang Lian had some warm tea from home, he finally felt settled, "Mother, we have returned safely."
Upon hearing this, Zhulan asked, "Did something happen?"
