Zhulan was also puzzled. This is a princess, not a prince. It's not easy for a princess to leave the palace, let alone stay outside for a while.
Lady Li said, "Could something have happened in the palace?"
Zhulan didn't think so. If something had happened, her daughter would have sent news back. "We'll know when Yu Die and the others return tomorrow."
Lady Li also stopped thinking about it and put away the account book. "Mother, you should rest. I'll head back now."
Zhulan nodded, "Alright."
After Lady Li left the main courtyard, she looked up to see snowflakes falling and shrank her neck. She worried about her eldest son far away on the grasslands. The winters on the grasslands were bitterly cold, with poor living conditions and food, and fresh vegetables were hard to come by.
Lady Li had listened to her mother-in-law's words and dried a lot of vegetables in the spring and summer, sending several batches to the grasslands in winter. The latest batch should have arrived.
