"Amitabha, it was a safe trip!"
"Yeah, we are back safe and sound!"
Qiao Xuan's excitement soared as thoughts of her husband, whom she hadn't seen in so long, flooded her mind. The anticipation of their reunion and the old saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," made her heart skip a beat, causing her cheeks to flush with joy.
However, upon their return, Shao Yunduan was not there to greet them. Instead, Songshi answered the door.
Surprised and elated to see Songshi, Qiao Xuan bowed deeply and smiled. "Songshi, you're here! That's wonderful!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, asking, "Where is my husband? Has he not returned yet?"
Hanlin Academy should have been off duty, so she wondered why he wasn't home. Annoyed thoughts crossed her mind – could he have gone somewhere else without her knowledge? How dreadful!
"Where is Old Master?" she asked, sounding rather stern as she turned to Songshi.
